Happy 302 days in space! And thank you for doing this AMA from space! So cool! I have two main questions; first question inspired by The Martian and character Mark Watney's mission length.

  1. Upon completing your 1 year in space, if the offer was on the table, would you do a 2 year space mission in the future? And why? Would it depend on the mission (Moon, Mars, ISS again)?

  2. Can you describe your sleep cycle over the last 300 days in space? Always a solid 8 hours? Did you ever get strangely tired or have you consistently felt well rested? Bonus Question: When sleeping, is your dream world mostly in zero-G?

Thank you for doing this AMA! It is often said that the computing power of the Apollo spacecraft was less than that of a cellphone. Today's smartphones can pack a 2.7GHz processor and 3GB of RAM (specs found in Google's Nexus 6). I'm wondering if Orion has kept up with Moore's Law compared to NASA spacecraft of the past. What are the specs of Orion's computing hardware? Has the spacecraft outpaced the cellphone? If not, why?

Whoa. Even your backups' backups have backups. I wish my hard drives could do this.

EDIT: I suck at punctuation. Thanks /u/silversapp
