So we have a responsibility to share that perspective so that everyone understands the situation we are in. ‘

Mixed feelings of sadness and joy when leaving @Space station. A magical place in the sky that grants superpowers like floating and in the blink of an eye. For those who built it, for the benefit of all. It gives me hope that humans can achieve anything, with good intentions, when we want. pic.twitter.com/jTYA5aqa5B

We were treated to the strongest auroras of the entire mission, over North America and Canada. The amazing spikes were higher than our orbit🤩, and we flew right above the center of the ring, rapidly spreading waves and pulsations. #MissionAlpha https://t.co/5rdb08ljhx pic.twitter.com/0liCkGvRCh
