Tesla is a great company & I LOVE SpaceX. But there were many factors to my decision. A year ago I was divorced, broke, & living w/my brother. What a difference a year can make! I’m full of

It was an honor getting to speak with

Our

Dragons flying high
You know how I feel

People have asked about seeing the stars while in space. Here is my best photo with Orion and I actually saw many satellites as streaks of light moving below us and caught this one in the 2nd photo. The blue smudge to the right is just light reflection off the glass.
Congratulations to
@WilliamShatner
& the entire
@blueorigin
crew! Star Trek was a big part of my life & why I became an astronaut. Knowing that Captain Kirk made it to space warms my heart. I even brought

Michelle Obama calls the Inspiration4 crew in the fifth and final episode of Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission to Space (which covers the crew’s historic launch into space, their three days in Space, and splashing down back on Earth). Now on Netflix
Last night we were trending on
@netflix
but still not in Top 10. Make sure your friends and family are watching Countdown with all kinds of cool moments like me talking with
@MichelleObama

I got to see the aurora for just a few minutes while in space but it was nothing like this. What an amazing moment for the ISS astronauts and a fantastic image!
We were treated to the strongest auroras of the entire mission, over north America and Canada. Amazing spikes higher than our orbit🤩, and we flew right above the centre of the ring, rapid waves and pulses all over.

On this day in history, June 15, 1921, Bessie Coleman became the first African American woman to earn a pilot license. Thank you Queen Bess for having the courage, determination, and perseverance to open the door for so many to follow. 🙏🏽👩🏾🚀🚀
I had a fantastic time chatting w/
@richardbranson
about space, ocean conservation, energy resources, music, etc. It was inspiring to hear all the things he’s done and all the things he’s still trying to do. He’s got a wonderful sense of humor & had me cracking up! 😂👩🏾🚀🚀🌎🌊
One of my favorite photos from the

I got this beautifully framed

My high school crush - the tall, athletic, super smart, drop dead gorgeous boy everyone loved - asked to be my Facebook friend!😊 It only took 35 years to get noticed! 😂
I just ran into
