NASA astronaut Mike Massimino

Here’s a selection of some of Mike’s tweets from orbit and some pictures of the mission.
5:48 PM May 16th From orbit: This is an awesome experience, the privilege to fly in space and work on the Hubble is beyond my dreams.

8:43 AM May 18th From orbit: At the end of my spacewalk, I had time to just look at the Earth, the most awesome sight my eyes have seen, undescribable.

11:36 AM May 18th From orbit: Hard to sleep last night after my spacewalk, images of the work and the views still vivid in my mind.

4:26 AM May 19th From orbit: Eating chocolates in space, floating then in front of me then floating and eating them like I am a fish.

4:27 AM May 19th From orbit: Getting ready for bed, sleeping in space is cool, tie down your sleeping bag and float inside of it, very relaxing.

6:06 PM May 19th From orbit: We see 16 sunrises and sunsets in 24 hrs, each one spectacular as the sun lights up the atmosphere in a spectrum of colors.

5:35 PM May 20th From orbit: Just saw Orion’s nebula in the night sky – the sights make all the hard work and risk worthwhile for me.

9:49 AM May 21st From orbit: got a call from President Obama, it was a great event for our crew and very thoughtful of the President.
