Sleeping here is fun too. I sleep in a sleeping bag tied to the wall! During work hours, I do experiments and sometimes go for spacewalks. It feels like flying! After work, I read books or talk with my family through video calls. Though I miss Earth, the view of stars outside is amazing.
My life here is busy but meaningful. I feel proud to be part of this journey.
