@searchlogin @NASA_Johnson @SpaceX Thanks for the question! Astronaut Soichi Noguchi of JAXA was one of the crew members who flew to the space station on the SpaceX Crew-1 mission. Crew-2 will be the 2nd international mission for Crew Dragon, and the first with 2 international partner astronauts (ESA and JAXA). — PolitiTweet.org

"This is the Dragon that's going to fly for Crew-2. This is the same Dragon that flew the Demo-2 mission that carried Bob and Doug." — @SpaceX's Benji Reed on the Crew Dragon "Endeavour" spacecraft set to carry the astronauts on NASA's SpaceX Crew-2 mission to the @Space_Station. https://t.co/Zo7jiYKFJX — PolitiTweet.org

@jart0806 @NASA_Astronauts @Space_Station @AstroVicGlover There is no eating during a spacewalk, but fortunately the astronauts have water they can drink from an in-suit drink bag. A plastic tube with a valve sticks out of the bag. Biting the valve opens the tube so the spacewalker can take a drink. — PolitiTweet.org

@Heartie1990 Astronauts train several hours on Earth in the Neutral Buoyancy Lab for every hour they spend spacewalking, depending on the astronaut and the tasks they’re training to perform.
