The crane was just reattached to the lifting cap on booster 1067. Hopefully they’ll start retracting the legs soon. #Crew4 #SpaceX..

B1067 is back on land for processing after its latest flight, as well as Megan is parked next to @RustysInThePort with the fastboats loaded in for the next Crew Dragon recovery.

They tell me our launch was great. For us it was a wild trip of approx. 9 minutes to reach orbit with a peak acceleration of 4g and then… weightlessness..

Was that captured from Crew Dragon after separation?

Can you spot Crew Dragon Freedom on the launch pad in this image of @NASAKennedy ? 🔎🐉 I took it as we waited for #Crew4 to be launched. If you haven't already, follow @astrosamantha for some great highlights from their launch 📸🚀

We’ve been up here 2 weeks already… hard to believe! We’ve been super busy… I need to catch up with photos. Will do that soon – I promise 😊 But for now, a few more of my favourite moments from our launch on Crew Dragon Freedom! #missionminerva #Crew3

Once on orbit, we could get out of our suits and take a first look out of the window…

And then… a line at the toilet. Who gets to go first, me or Zippy?

Look at that! For a little while after orbital insertion we had some company… the rocket’s second stage was flying beneath us. Can you spot it?

After a few hours and a meal, lights off for some sleep. But I did crawl out of my sleeping bag for a peak out of the small hatch window.🤫

Here we come! Just before it was time to strap into my seat for docking, I caught a glimpse of the @Space_Station. This quick tablet photo doesn’t do it justice. It was beautiful. Like an intricate, sophisticated piece of jewellery shining in the black of space.

Could someone please post a few screen  grabs of the entire 11 member crew aboard the ISS  from welcome ceremony so we can have a crew picture of all 11 members together  Thank you

Here you go. The second image shows rookie astronauts Robert Hines and Jessica Watkins getting their gold astronaut pins.
