Just got a present in my care package on the Soyuz! It’s a magazine from July 4, 1969 signed by Michael Collins wishing me all the best. I couldn’t thank him enough. He's up here on International Space Station with us and his legacy continues to inspire. #Apollo50th
Congrats to our friends at Planetary Society, whose #LightSail2 spacecraft has successfully deployed the large, aluminized Mylar sail it will use to raise its orbit solely with sunlight. Sail deployment marks a major milestone for the mission. buff.ly/2GuAHSG
In case you missed it, we got some footage earlier today from Japan's second Hayabusa2 (HAYABUSA2@JAXA) asteroid landing on 11 July. Yes, it's awesome.
Earth is special. 🌎 It's the only place in the universe that we know contains life. Celebrate its beauty by taking a look at these breathtaking images of our home planet, as captured by crew members aboard the International Space Station: go.nasa.gov/2Gvbjwc
