Happy Year of the Horse! I was fortunate to be looking out of the Cupola while we were passing over Beijing, and saw the twinkling of fireworks celebrating the Lunar New Year!

@Cosmic_Andrew1 @EricaLefaive It was better than the best roller coaster you have ever been on. Like getting shot out of a cannon. Great fun!

Ten years ago today we launched on the final flight of an American treasure - the Space Shuttle. Spending day with STS-135 crewmates Fergy and Sandy at KSC.

@StationCDRKelly Chuck Yeager was a great man. He used to fly with us at the 416th Flight Test Squadron at Edwards while he was in his 70s. We'll miss him, but his inspiration lives on.

Here is the full length version of our Astronaut Roundtable with Peggy Whitson, Mike Lopez-Alegria, Charlie Bolden and I. Such a pleasure to share space memories with these amazing colleagues and the rest of our talented Axiom Space team.

@CommanderMLA Astronauts – down to Earth. @Astro_Rex

I’m pleased to announce that after 35 years of government service, I have joined @Axiom_Space as Director of Safety & Mission Assurance. With this team's expertise and commercial energy, I look forward to carrying on the work we began at NASA to settle and utilize Low Earth Orbit

@BrianSandySky You are very welcome Brian. Those are neat cards that you made.

In honor of National Parks Week, here is a pic of Glacier National Park we took from Space Shuttle Atlantis in Feb 2008. Can see Kalispell, Whitefish, @GlacierNPS and @WatertonLakesNP. One my areas anywhere! #FindYourPark @NatlParkService

Go @Astros! Go @NASA_Astronauts! #EarnHistory #WorldSeries #BringItHome from @Astro_Rex and the Orion team!

Community Day at #ASE30 with students in Puylaurens, France @citeespace

Great day talking to the students in Puylaurens France

Thanks Carl. I guess you can tell I enjoy riding rockets. Best roller coaster ride ever!

Six years ago we launched on STS-135, final Shuttle mission. @Commercial_Crew to bring launches back to US soon. It's going to be awesome!

Pictures I took from our NASA T-38 as we flew over @TAMU last Friday about noon during training flight at College Station airport.
