Welcome back Suni! I hope that your return to Earth is going well! Here's to a healthy recovery of your body density and vision after experiencing micro-gravity! Cheers!


Alot has happened since we last saw each other in the above photo in 2008!


Looking forward to having that @HarpoonBrewery IPA that we never had a chance to have in 2012 after your Expedition 32 return. #BarrelOneCollective CEO #DanKenary and #HarpoonBeer Executive #GregMoon of #BarrelOneBeer look forward to hosting you in their #MarineIndustrialPark-adjacent #BeerHall! Perhaps we can go see a concert at the #LeaderBankPavilion next door to the #BostonSeaport venue!


You are truly an incredible human being! You are one (1) of the nicest and most intelligent persons whom I have ever met! You rock my friend!


Congratulations to you and Astronaut #ButchWilmore on your successful return after 286 days in Space! Unbelievable! You only packed for eight (8) days and you stayed longer!!! WOW!!!


I will always treasure my involvement in your running the #BostonMarathon in 2007 from the ISS! I am so happy that our friend #TereseBisbee from @BabsonCollege introduced us. #BabsonCollege opened so many connections for me! The other #BC in my life- (other than my Alma Mater #BostonCollege, of course)....


It was great getting to know your Mom #BonniePandya and your sister #DinaPandya (nka) #DinaAnnad as well during that fun planning process in 2007!


Again, many thanks to my friend #DaveMcGillivray, Race Director of the @BostonMarathon and President of #DMSE, for accepting my call and question about NASA possibly setting up your ISS Treadmill with the #Hopkinton to #Boston route so that you could keep your tradition of running the Boston Marathon intact. It was so awesome that Dina could run on Earth while you circled the Planet from Space in over four (4) hours! Your shoulders ached so much while being strapped down on a treadmill at zero-gravity!


It was also just awesome arranging the "First Pitch" at #FenwayPark in 2008 for you and Astronaut #MichaelLopezAlegria (alongside #NatalieJacobson) for that fun @BostonRedSox Game! It was fun sitting with you, your Mom, Dina, Terese, and LA and watching the #RedSox!


Looking forward to catching up with you in the next few months after you return to #NeedhamMA. I would love to have you as a Guest on my #PaulPondersRadioShow on @959WATDFM in #MarshfieldMA! Over the past couple of years, I have set up my #PSANDALLMARKETINGGROUP in conjunction with #BlacksmithCommunication of @CityofMalden and my #PaulPondersPodcast through #PodProEntertainment of #MaldenMA and #ToolBoxEntertainment of #PhiladelphiaPA


Again Retired U.S. Naval Officer #SunitaWilliams, welcome back home!!!! Peace and be well! See you soon!
