The vast majority of us have never really left the terra firma of Earth for a significant amount of time (long flights notwithstanding). For the astronauts on the Artemis II mission, NASA’s first around the Moon since 1972, losing complete contact with our planet was an otherworldly experience. Read more from @LiveScience:

Screenshot of the Lunar Targeting Plan that Artemis II crew are following for moon observations during the flyby. (This was from a bit earlier in the flight so they're farther down the list and in a different position now, of course.) #moon #Artemis2 #ArtemisII #NASA

High-res photos from the #ArtemisII lunar flyby are going up in the Lunar Flyby gallery on NASA.gov: nasa.gov/gallery/lunar-flyby/

-- and are also being added to the #NASA JSC Artemis II photoset on Flickr: flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore…

This eclipse photo is especially nice: flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore… (moon covering sun, looks like they don't have the earth-sun eclipse pics up yet)

The last screen the crew saw before shutting down Integrity

#ArtemisII


Oh my god, seeing the splashdown for the first time since I was a small child is hitting me _hard_…

#ArtemisII


Hearing the comms from Integrity just now made me cry…

#ArtemisII


The commentator referred to the toilet as ”the potty” and I don’t think I’ve heard that word since I was five years old lmao

Coming home #ArtemisII


~ 4-5 hours left before the crew of #Orion touches down on Earth again! 🚀

One of the more dangerous parts of the mission, on re-entry the heat shield stands temperatures about half that of the surface of our sun 🥵

Cruciferous vegetables are very healthy

But not in #space

4 people in a spacecraft the size of 2 minivans means excess flatulence- which has methane and hydrogen, is not just malodorous, but downright dangerous: flammability

" #NASA even carefully curates astronauts’ meals to reduce flatulence as much as possible. Among the foods on its naughty list are Brussels sprouts, baked beans, cabbage and broccoli"

Who needs astronauts or scientists on #ArtemisII ? NASA should have just sent a bunch of pro photographers with their EOS R5 up there.

' #NASA astronaut #VictorGlover, recently named as the pilot of the #ArtemisII #Artemis2 #Artemis mission around the Moon, listens to #GilScottHeron's poem "Whitey on the Moon" twice a week on the way to work'

A rat done bit my sister Nell
(with Whitey on the Moon)
Her face and arms began to swell
(and Whitey's on the Moon)
I can't pay no doctor bill
(but Whitey's on the Moon)
Ten years from now I'll be paying still
(while Whitey's on the Moon)

yup, the #USA fucking sucks

that dampers enthusiasm for #Artemis #Artemis2 #ArtemisII

i say:

be happy for #JeremyHansen, first Canadian in deep #space

and his mission patch was designed by #Anishaabe artist #HenryGuimond, referencing the Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers

"Hansen asked Guimond to design a personal patch for his flight suit after participating in a vision quest at Turtle Lodge Centre of Excellence"

#ArtemisII astronauts now on course to head back to Earth

Orion ventured around the moon & begins its return to Earth.

After a 40-minute communications blackout ended, #Artemis II #astronaut Christina Koch said, “It is so great to hear from Earth again.” She and her three crewmates have emerged from behind the moon as they continue their seven-hour flyby of the #moon & head back home.

At 7:24 PM, less than an hour ago, the crew of #Artemis #Artemis2 #ArtemisII, as they came out from behind the moon, they experienced...

🤯

all of humanity, on a distant ball, slowing coming *back* into view

that's insane

"Why #Nutella?"

Because paste consistency food is great in weightlessness

Peanut butter is also loved by astronauts

Soft tortillas too: no crumbs floating around

And all these foods don't need refrigeration

Finally, you need calorie dense foods since storage is at a premium

Eat like an astronaut and have a Nutella tortilla

It's no secret that I've been struggling, and my therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard.

I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.

Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.

Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.

Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.
