Astronaut Karen Nyberg helps Luca Parmitano put on his helmet, during an EMU suit fit check. Next up, a space walk.

Karen Nyberg, a US astronaut, on Parenting From Earth's Orbit: "It's a challenge because my son is 3. He will do a lot of growing in six months. But I will see a lot of video of him. We will be very well connected. And he will be home with Daddy" (Doug Hurley, also an astronaut). [NYTimes.com]
