Just finishing up the final ‘balancing’ of the Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly (CDRA) before installation. Newtonian physics still at work here in space and F=ma still…so glad that ‘a’ is zero here…don’t try this at home!

Si fueses Espanol te diria "torero". Sigue asi, con buen humor, y al toro.

No wonder that you can balance this big something on your nose. Earth's rotating backwards since yesterday, I've seen on NASA TV! We'll be getting younger and younger and stronger and stronger! (Turn round the outer webcam of ISS, pls, I feel dizzy!:-D)

No wonder if you can balance that big something on your nose, we’re in a mirror world now. Earth's rotating backwards since yesterday, I've seen on NASA TV! We'll be getting younger and younger and stronger and stronger! (Turn round the outer webcam of IS

oh, striking acrobatic performance, indeed...completely effortless though...so, alas, no superhero-at-work in sight at the moment...;)

Well balancing!

From the Earth I thank you all the effort that you all make in the International Space Station for providing more knowledge to humanity.

A gesture must generate a movement for reaction. It must be amazing to see the behavior of objects and liquids.

You're very lucky for living this wonderful experience ... I guess that in g = 0, the functioning of the body must be different and that requires a process of adaptation.

Doug will make a spacewalk on Aug. 5. Maybe we will see such a pic!

There is a thorough cleaning of at least 3 hours every week and the crew is taking turns. No one is spared that work.

Whee! No hands!

Wait… If F=ma and a=0 in space then also F=0. No anything else only mass… Doug, could you put the ISS on tip of your nose next time, please? ;-D
