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:

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)

OMFG WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH CATS AND THE SPLASHDOWN THERE ARE PICTURES OF THEM ALL OVER MY TIMELINE LOL
They're putting a collar around the spacecraft now. Pretty kinky, if you ask me...
THERE... ARE... FIVE... BALLOONS...
The last screen the crew saw before shutting down Integrity
Oh my god, seeing the splashdown for the first time since I was a small child is hitting me _hard_…
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

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"

There's one perhaps unusual problem the crew of NASA's Artemis II has to be mindful of while aboard the spacecraft: their farts.Zoe Engels (Mediaite)

A rat done bit my sister Nell

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

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

"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.
