The countdown to #LaunchAmerica continues! On Saturday, May 30, @nasa's @spacex Crew Dragon launches to the @Space_Station, marking the first time we’ve launched American astronauts from U.S. soil since 2011.

Weather is currently 40% "go" for launch. https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2020/05/28/nasas-spacex-demo-2-nasa-television-coverage-weather-update/ 

COVID-19 has brought about rapid changes in human activity and movement around the world. We've funded four more projects that use @NASAEarth satellite data & resources to investigate different environmental, economic and societal impacts of the pandemic: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2020/nasa-funds-four-research-projects-on-covid-19-impacts?utm_source=TWITTER&utm_medium=NASA&utm_campaign=NASASocial&linkId=88571614

Curb appeal. It’s not often I get to see my house from the outside. This photo I snapped on my spacewalk last Friday captures the habitable modules that I have called home for the last eight months. Pretty lucky to be living inside an engineering marvel.
