The man in the mirror is Navy Test Pilot @astro_hathaway who I suited up today during our suit training class. It’s just a training mirror, the ones in space are clear and critical to reading controls on the suit (located at the chest) because it’s difficult to look around.

I was lucky to attend Jawaharlal Nehru University for one year. This quote always stuck with me and is applicable to space exploration as to every day. Happy Sunday! #quoteoftheday #mindset #astronauts

How do you train for another world? Ask a geologist! Astronaut candidate class 23 “the flies” finish our first two weeks of geology training. #geology #nationalpark #earth #nasa #space #astronauts

My inspiration just got bigger with James Webb! I love this photo of the Carina Nebula. I’ve always been inspired by the stars and they remind me of how much we have to explore. I hope these photos also inspire the future explorers! #nasa #nasawebb @nasa_astronauts

Our time in Ecuador was all about getting comfortable being uncomfortable. And we scored 10/10 on this objective.
