Regardless of having little free time, are astronauts allowed to play adult and recreational sports (hockey, scuba, etc), or are they restricted/limited to keep them safe and prevent non-work injuries?

Follow up: did you have to sacrifice any personal activities after your selection or during any of your missions?

Hello Lori! NASA specifically called out Yuri's Night in the sequestration of travel and events and a few NASA centers had to cancel plans. Luckily no one told Curiosity on Mars and she still hosted a one-robot event with tweets. CSA and Chris Hadfield were heavily involved this past weekend and even hosted a #CSATweetUp in Edmonton. Other agencies were also involved. As we move forward, do you have any thoughts on how Yuri's Night can work with NASA to continue to inspire and educate the world about human spaceflight!
