We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. go.nasa.gov/41tbrpq

It’s been a privilege to call the @Space_Station home, to play my part in its 25-year legacy of doing research for humanity, and to work with colleagues, now friends, from around the globe. My spaceflight career, like most, is full of the unexpected.

During my first mission in 2019, I helped to install the BioFabrication Facility (BFF) on the @Space_Station. It's a fascinating capability that we are trying to prove: 3D printing human tissue.

I was thrilled to get the opportunity to work on it again 6 years later. This time, I'm helping the BFF team recover clogged pumps that deliver the bio-ink during operation.
