25 years ago today, STS-106 launched to prepare the @Space_Station for long-duration occupation. The crew moved about 3 tons of hardware and supplies to the station, including this treadmill! 📘 The history of exercise countermeasures in space: https://t.co/hqJDUxBrLL

Hey @homedepot, I regularly shop at your stores but your website needs some 'home' improvements. I often find myself unable to purchase items you are selling, and switching over to Amazon. Lost opportunities there.

Before I left NASA the first ascent/entry suit for Orion was being fitted for me. Luckily the engineer building it (Dustin) is the same size so now its his. Yes, that orange suit fits me.

#Artemis1 I rode 2 of the 4 engines to orbit, several segments of the solids and even the Orion main engine that will provide thrust in lunar orbit. I might as well be in the cockpit.

Why do #space missions bringing mascots, like #babyyoda, with them. For luck? For fun? Or is there a real reason? Find out in our latest #AskAScientist video with @AstroRM Rick Mastracchio and screenwriter @stapleswill.

Hey @Toyota I've done many difficult things. I've launched on 3 Shuttles and a Russian Soyuz, I've done 9 spacewalks and lived in space for 6 months. My 2006 Tundra was with me the whole way. But I cant find a 2022 Platinum Tundra Hybrid! Is there any way to get some help?
