Dr O'Donoghue is one of the best science communicators I know. He answers questions I didn't know I had! He simultaneously entertains and informs - with the emphasis on entertains! Great to see him getting the attention he deserves!

So honored to call these 3 HOFers "colleague", "friend" and (in Pambo's case) "CDR". Could not have a better set of inductees. Congratulations LA, Grumpy & Pambo!

Look who I bumped into on the 20th anniversary of our first launch! Captain Mark Kelly and I were the rookies on STS-108 so it’s an important moment in both our lives. Great to see him tonight.

This week we honor, among others, my pioneers (Ed White, 1st US EVA), my trail-blazers (Ellison Onizuka, 1st Japanese-American astronaut) and my classmates and dear friends (Dave, Lauren, Willie). I'm so honored to call these heroes my colleagues. #NASARemembers

Found this brilliant model of the #ISS at Tate Modern in London today! Made of hundreds of metal coat hangers, it doubles as a radio antenna, tuned to the actual space station downlink frequency! Go see it if you can!

Listen to me being interviewed on my favorite space podcast The Space Above Us 🦋 @thespaceabove.us. I discuss my route to getting selected, and what it's like to be a newbie in the #astronaut corps.

On the airplane headed to Kigali for the #GenerationConnect Global Youth Summit! I’m excited to meet with young people from around the world - the leaders of tomorrow! The world will need their talents as we plan and create #DigitalTransformation for all!

I’m very INSPIREd by the amazing young people I’m meeting at the ITU Development #GenerationConnect Youth Summit here in beautiful Kigali Rwanda. I’ve met likely future astronauts, CEOs and presidents. We’re in good hands if these are the leaders of tomorrow!

A job very well done by @NorthropGrumman's S.S. Piers Sellers #Cygnus spacecraft! A vehicle worthy of its namesake. I'm proud to be a #sardine NASA Astronauts classmate of Piers's, who is a distinguished The University of Edinburgh alum. Must be a fantastic school!

Dr O. Very interesting!! So - does that mean that earth could see all sides of the moon then? i.e. I can’t see how the rotational rate of the moon would also match the orbital period as it does now. Are we just in an incredibly coincidental time where both rates match?
