Russian kale, dragoon lettuce, wasabi lettuce. The ground is running a similar crop to compare. Cosmonaut Anna Kikina joins us for a taste test!

    Some moments are worth floating back to. ✨ When @NASA’s @SpaceX Crew-13 launched on Oct. 1, they brought along a little extra company! 🚀 Meet Lucky, a hand-crocheted golden dragon and the crew’s zero-gravity indicator! These small companions float freely once a spacecraft reaches microgravity, giving astronauts a visual sign that they’re officially weightless.

    No tricks, just a celestial treat. 🌕🎃 The Hunter’s Moon rises tonight, bringing a little extra glow to Halloween week! This full Moon gets its name from the time of year when hunters traditionally used the moonlight to track game and prepare for winter. Rising around sunset, the Moon will illuminate the night sky, weather permitting. Don’t forget to look up tonight!

    RT @Astro_Jessica: When our @NASAArtemis missions land on the Moon, we need to be ready to take manual control for a successful landing.  For the Manual Piloting study, I flew this landing simulator before and immediately after spaceflight to assess if any changes associated with cognitive function or gravity affected my performance.  Thankfully, I was able to land successfully even just two hours after we splashed down!

    At that time, Dragon will be traveling behind the @Space_Station and appear much dimmer. To best spot Dragon, find the space station and watch it pass a star or other reference point of your choosing. Dragon will essentially follow the same path across the sky around 5 or 6 seconds later. To find out where and when to see the space station flying over you, visit
