Mike Massimino tweeted today (Jan. 29):
I had another great experience doing a cameo for The Big Bang Theory sitcom, they always make me feel like I'm part of their family.
(He taped his cameo on Jan. 27 but no details yet as to when it will air.)

Does this mean that Froot Loops will be asked to return to the ISS?
I would say that'd be impossible after how he handled being in space the first time, but in reality, nobody as annoying as Sheldon never would have survived as long as he has...

Mike Massimino's next cameo on The Big Bang Theory will be in the episode "The Table Polarization" airing Feb. 27, 2014. Warning: Spoilers ahead —
Wolowitz is offered a chance to go back to space and Bernadette struggles with whether or not to encourage him.

I'm surprised nobody commented on the episode.
It seemed unrealistic to me that he'd be asked to go back to the ISS to anything, I'd assume the debrief of his experience would have caused the folks at JSC to break out the large, "THE END" rubber stamp for his documentation with their office. For crying out loud, Mass told Howard he shouldn't go back, wouldn't he be telling the people at Houston that, as well?
Did anyone see the portrait of Howard in the background during the 'intervention' of him wearing a Sokol suit? Nice touch.

So, you are putting rational thought about a situation in a TV show that tends to like doing goofy and nutty things to its characters? If it gets ratings, the producers might indeed send "Froot Loops" back up. Or, it could set the stage for sending one of the others up (doubtful, but you never know with these things). I know the ISS episodes had me watching the show more than I normally would have, so there is method to their madness.
Besides, wouldn't it be cool if Howard was to accept another assignment to the ISS and then have some crazy dream before he flies where he is stuck inside a Soyuz during some critical emergency with Sandra Bullock from Gravity sitting next to him going "No no no no NO, NOT GOOD!"?

Cryptozoic Entertainment's "The Big Bang Theory" Season 5 trading cards include two cards related to Wolowitz's space mission:
Card 64 as part of the base set is titled "Howard's Mission."
Howard is in the space capsule ready for launch, reflecting back on his life. The gang is at Leonard and Sheldon's apartment to watch the launch.
Insert card M25 is one of two "authentic wardrobe" cards related to Howard Wolowitz and depicts him wearing his Sokol suit.
This card features an authentic piece of Howard Wolowitz wardrobe from Season 5 of The Big Bang Theory.
(There's nothing to say the material comes from the Sokol suit.)
There is no word yet on when the Season 6 trading cards may be released, but Mike Massimino shared that he had to turn down a request from Cryptozoic to sign cards for the autographed inserts.

Mike Massimino was back on "The Big Bang Theory" on Monday night (Sept. 29) in the third episode of the show's eighth season ("The First Pitch Insufficiency"), which again highlighted Howard Wolowitz's status as an astronaut.
Depending on when this was taped, this may have marked Massimino's first cameo after he retired from NASA.

I watched last night and have to say that the scene with Mike Massimino was the highlight of the show. Funny!

I am very glad that Mike made it into the final season of Big Bang Theory. Space and the Mars Rover were center stage in this episode.

This isn't the final season of the show. In March, CBS renewed "The Big Bang Theory" through the 2016-17 season.

I assume this won't be coming up much in the future as they addressed the chance of Howard going back to the ISS (which is none, once they reminded him how much he hated being there). But seeing that Mass is no longer with NASA, if the show would have Howard dealing with him for anything within that context as he's not an astronaut anymore. I'd guess from now on, it'd be like this most recent episode, where Howard just asks a basic, "whaddaya think?" question.
I'm waiting for an episode where Howard goes to an astronaut autograph event to do autographs and nobody asks for one. He sees everyone else getting high amounts for signatures and he stands in the aisle away from his table, yelling, "SERIOUSLY, I'LL JUST SIGN STUFF FOR FREE HERE!," with Bernadette shaking her head, wondering why they'd flown all the way there just for this...
Come on, it's not that big a stretch, he's already had the disinterested response to being an astronaut already more than once.

After tonight's episode, maybe Howard can ride a Dragon to space! It was very exciting to see Elon Musk on the episode.

Great to visit the set of The Big Bang Theory, feels like coming home.

Elon Musk had a brief cameo on the Big Bang Theory spin off Young Sheldon tonight. It seams that a 9 year old Sheldon wrote a paper that he sent to NASA on how to land rockets and make them reusable. NASA tells him they do not have the technology to do that, but his math is impressive.
And then flash forward to 2016, and Elon Musk hides Sheldon's paper in his desk before talking to a reporter.

Liked the final scene in the first episode of Big Bang Theory this week. A lot of space models in Neil deGrasse Tyson's office as he talks smack with Raj.

Congratulations to the entire cast and crew of The Big Bang Theory for 12 years and 12 great seasons. Thank you for all the laughs and for letting me be part of the fun for a couple episodes.
Math, science, history, unraveling the mystery, that all started with the Big Bang! From our missions, images and more on set to Mike Massimino appearing when Howard goes to the International Space Station — so long The Big Bang Theory. Thanks for sharing our work with viewers and inspiring so many.
