The International Space Station sometimes feels like a student house. During the week we are all busy working, on our own schedules, running experiments and pass each other by without having time to chat. At night we retreat to our own rooms to talk to our families and study for the day ahead. I took this picture of Mark in his crew quarters as I passed by on the way to my own. Mark joined the NASA astronaut corps at the same time as I joined ESA as an astronaut. That's not the only thing we have in common, we were both on the Space Station in 2017 (but we didn't meet up in space then) and were on a NEEMO underwater training mission together. Yesterday Mark spent two hours working on the Celestial Immunity experiment in the Japanese Kibo laboratory. He was exempt from cleaning duties to finish up this experiment :) Mark arrived here on his second Soyuz flight, so he has spent a lot of time training in Russia and speaks the language very well… that might be why he has both versions of his nametag on his door :ru:

Mark dans sa cabine personnelle. Il est issu de la promotion de 2009 de la NASA, recrutée en même temps que la nôtre à l’ESA – on a donc découvert le métier ensemble et on s'est croisé pendant une mission NEEMO. Hier, alors que d’habitude on ne travaille pas le samedi après-midi, il a passé deux heures les mains dans la boîte à gants pour finaliser une expérience en immunologie. :clap:
