Between experiments, repairs, and the daily dance of living in microgravity, we make time for moments like this. A snapshot of teamwork, friendship, and the human spirit that keeps the @Space_Station orbiting strong after 25 years.

Gloves on, science flowing. Starting a new campaign for Stellar Stem Cells-2 inside the Microgravity Science Glovebox—where tiny cells teach us big things.

Grabbing a quick snap of Cargo Dragon arriving on CRS-33, and what a view! Science supplies and food aboard, reminding us how vital these missions are.  Commercial cargo is building a path toward a thriving commercial LEO economy!

Retro blue headband on, hard drive in hand—science and repair in the same orbit. In space, versatility isn’t optional; it’s survival. Every skill we sharpen here points us toward the Moon… and beyond to Mars.

Presenting the first crew photo taken together of ISS Expedition 73B. We celebrated the hard work and soft splashdown of Crew-10 and our first day of the second half of Expedition 73. Low Earth Orbital beginnings!

Fair Winds and Following Seas! Our Crew-10 friends said goodbye on Friday and splashdowned on Saturday off the coast of San Diego. We are glad they had a smooth journey home and it was an honor serving with them.

Want to go to the Moon or even Mars?  I do!  
 More importantly, I contributed to the science that will help humans thrive in the Solar System. Today was my first blood draw! The samples are now frozen and will be studied on Earth. More samples are in my future..

This handshake in space says it all! Yesterday we had a change of command ceremony. Outgoing commander @Astro_Onishi, who will leave soon on the Crew-10 Dragon, handed over responsibilities to Sergey Ryzhikov, who arrived on Soyuz MS-27. Sergey is now the commander for ISS Expedition 73B and is responsible for the safety of our crew of 7. And kudos to Takuya-san for his excellent leadership of Expedition 73A! Wishing Crew-10 a soft splashdown!

ISS Expedition 73 in the house! Just got here yesterday, felt so very familiar, like I never left. Spending time getting reacquainted with my friends and the @Space_Station. Very glad to be here.

I was 8, dreaming of stars. 50 years later, I carry that dream forward with Crew-11 to the ISS — and cherish having called Stafford & Leonov my friends. Thank you, Apollo-Soyuz, for showing us what’s possible.
