The helmet camera of @Astro_Jessica during her first spacewalk reminded me just how I felt working outside the @Space_Station - close to Earth, thankful for the force of microgravity that kept us orbiting Earth, and in awe of the vastness (and beauty) of space
"If there was a word for the opposite of claustrophobia, that’s kind of how you feel.”
As @astro_jessica's head camera captured Earth from the @Space_Station during the first #AllWomanSpaceWalk on Oct. 18, fellow astronaut @AstroAnnimal described the experience from the ground

At 7:38am ET, our #AllWomanSpacewalk officially started as @Astro_Christina & @Astro_Jessica set their spacesuits to battery power, marking the beginning of their 5.5 hour excursion outside of the @Space_Station to replace a failed power controller. Watch: xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1vOxwapRA…

Amazing #JFK speech. I love the ending as well: “every scientist, every engineer, every serviceman, every technician, contractor, and civil servant gives his personal pledge that this nation will move forward, with the full speed of freedom, in the exciting adventure of space.”
"…this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon…" As we work now to return humans to the Moon within five years, reflect on the challenge laid down on May 25, 1961 by President Kennedy: go.nasa.gov/2wmnANX
Can you explain quantum physics to a general audience in 45 min? Our very own Dr. Charles Torre can! He gave an excellent presentation Friday night closing out the 10th year of Science… instagram.com/p/BwMyHk0hOjd/…
Thank you @Dr_ThomasZ for you inspirational presentation today!! #thetransformativejourney
