On the @Space_Station, we're here to do experiments and collect data, and we're looking at Earth just as much as we're looking into space!

How is Expedition 72 tailgating for the Super Bowl? We're cooking up a space version of hot wings and projecting the pre-game coverage on the big screen. The big question is, will they taste as hot in space as they do on Earth? We are about to find out!

Butch and Don helped me gear up for my spacewalk like a knight headed out to face the dangers of the cosmos. The art of spacewalking involves a lot of tethers, and the EMU mini workstation on the front of my suit is how we connect those tethers to our suits.

It’s possible to program the movements, but when we need to get really close to things, it's time to take over manually.

It’s been an exciting January of spacewalks. Congrats to Suni on setting a new mark that will inspire those who will follow to push a little farther, reach a little higher, and dream a little bigger!

The @Space_Station is a three-dimensional lab with equipment everywhere: on the floor, walls, and ceiling. It’s amazing how much more we can utilize the space around us in microgravity. I don’t even need a floor to stand on, I can just float!

A spacewalk is all about trust, and there is no greater demonstration than the trust you place on the people suiting you up. Don and I will help Suni and Butch get out of the hatch tomorrow, working through hundreds of procedure steps and systems checks to ensure they stay safe.

Science multitasking: While performing biological experiments like Arthrospira-C, I am also the subject of several experiments studying how space affects my body. This one is called Space Aging, and it uses the same bio-monitor garment and headband as a few other experiments.

When I change out the SoFIE samples, I have less than an eighth of an inch of clearance in 4-5 places at once. Each sample has delicate wires to measure the temperature of the flames. It's almost like playing a game of "Operation", which was a favorite of mine growing up!

Here is another view of last week's spacewalk - I see this photo and think, wow, that is a 250-mile drop!

But the most intense feeling is gratitude for being part of an enormous team orchestrated to perfection. Great work, Suni, Jess, Faruq, Nicole, and the whole team!
