1st morning in temporary Houston home, enjoying sounds, smells, flavors of Earth. Doing great, but gravity is tough!

Buon lunedì! Bel passaggio senza nuvole sull’Italia, ieri mattina. Nice cloudless pass over Italy yesterday. Yes, even up here we worry about the weather 😄 #MissionMinerva
È la #FestaDellaRepubblica! Anche qui sulla ISS è giornata di festa e ho avuto tempo libero per immortalare il nostro splendido paese da quassù. Stavate sorridendo? #2giugno #MissionMinerva
#NewYork NewYork! Can almost see the Statue of Liberty. Which is, by the way, #UNESCO #WorldHeritage!
Every orbit the makes a summersault in space. Take a look at how we can use a gyroscope to visualize that! 😉 #MissionMinerva #SpaceTok
Ciao #Sardinia! Sea and mountains, forests, plains, coasts, beaches… due to the great variety of beautiful landscapes and ecosystems some call Sardinia a “micro-continent”! #CiaoItaly #MissionMinerva

2022 A Space Odyssey. Turns out, yes, you can walk with Velcro shoes. Slowly, very very slowly 😉#ASpaceOdyssey #MissionMinerva
仰观宇宙之大,俯察品类之盛,所以游目骋怀,足以极视听之娱,信可乐也。
Looking up, I see the immensity of the cosmos; bowing my head, I look at the multitude of the world.
The gaze flies, the heart expands, the joy of the senses can reach its peak, & indeed, this is true happiness

The Sun has been really active lately. Last week we saw the most stunning auroras I have ever experienced in over 300 days in space! #auroraaustralis #MissionMinerva

Happy Monday from space! Were you lucky enough to be able to see the lunar eclipse last night? We were! / Buon lunedì dallo spazio! Avete avuto la fortuna di vedere l'eclissi lunare di ieri sera? Noi sì! 🌘#lunareclipse2022 #MissionMinerva #LunarEclipse
We had a spectacular view of the #Soyuz launch!
Sergey, Dmitry and Frank will come knocking on our door in just a couple of hours… looking forward to welcoming them to their new home! #MissionMinerva
Early start into Day 200 in #space. It's been an amazing journey, thx for coming along! Now time to go home to Earth.
That thin blue stripe that signals, in the darkness, that our Earth is there, buzzing with life.
Tonight a special thought to #Italy after an important day. Stasera un pensiero all'Italia dopo giorno importante!
Passaggio notturno sul nord-est ieri sera. Ciao Padova, ciao Trieste, ciao Venezia e Mestre! #MissionMinerva #Italy

Just two words: THANK YOU!
Thank you all in Europe, Moscow, Houston and on . Thanks for working to make this possible, thanks for the training, the planning, the real-time support, the videos and pictures, the trust and the encouragement.
It was a dream come true.
One of my favorite views, when water embraces land in a soft pink glow. #HelloEarth
And it’s been an honor to represent #Europe and #Italy on the International , this amazing outpost in Low Earth Orbit. I am grateful beyond words. #MissionMinerva
Good night from space! Flying from the North Atlantic over Europe & on to Northern Africa & the Middle East until the Indian Ocean. Spectacular views in this nearly cloudless night a few days ago. Always special to fly down the boot of #Italy! #MissionMinerva
I will miss these views! #MissionMinerva
We flew over Egypt earlier today. Can you spot the pyramids? #MissionMinerva
What a beauty! Our #Soyuz right after undocking – by then, we had been in our seats for well over 2 hrs. #JourneyBack

Amazing being in #space, better than anything I ever imagined. Saw my 1st sunrise from the Cupola today! #HelloEarth
Quel ramo del lago di Como… Just North of my birthplace, Milan, beautiful Lake Como is one of the many lakes of glacial origin in Northern Italy. Glacial movement gave it its famous Y-shape. #CiaoItaly #MissionMinerva

Catch me if you can! To avoid losing items that float away as if they are 'weightless' aboard the we need 'gravity surrogates' 😉 There are a few options. Can you guess? #MissionMinerva #SpaceTok #SpaceLife
Looks like something is going on there…eruption of Mt. Etna, Europe’s tallest active volcano.
L’eruzione dell’Etna vista oggi da quassù! #Italy #Sicily #MissionMinerva
