NASA women save stars. 🫶🏻💫

Artemis II has shown us that human thought, human passion, human experiences and human excellence will always be superior to anything a machine can do. They give us the context to understand not only ourselves but the world and the universe too. Its an incomparable feeling.

I'm moonscrolling

Science is good. We should fund it.

Splashdown! Vehicle is stable and upright. “A perfect bulls-eye splash for Integrity and its four astronauts!” #Artemis

Splashdown! #artemis #artemisii

Today was a hard day. I’m finding peace by looking back at sunnier days — hope these find your timeline well ❤️

She’s a beauty 🌕 #moon #artemis #artemisii #lunar #fullmoon #photography #canon #astrophotography

The Moon isn't just beautiful, it also makes life on earth possible.

There are still very good people on Earth. And some off Earth. #ArtemisII

I’m not crying in space. You’re crying in space.

What a beautiful moment.

I’m not a regular poster, but I want to make a concerted effort to post, like, and repost much more often here. I believe deeply in open social and all it has to offer, and I want to do my part to advance it. #bluesky #opensocial #atproto #social

I am super geeking out over these new Artemis photos. The “Earthrise” is crazy. Flat earthers are in shambles.

Witness the elegance of the swimming Feather Star, a crinoid that dates back to the Ordovician era, over 480 million years ago. A true marvel of evolution in our oceans.

This is a view of Mount Fuji seen through cherry blossoms in full bloom in a mountain garden… a once-a-year kind of magic you don’t just pass by. 🌸✨ #Mt.Fuji #Sakura #Shizuoka

Since the moon is something allot of folks are thinking about this week, here's a clip I got through a freshly collimated telescope back in 2020. Cant even begin imagine the detail the 4 Artemis II crew can see

Well, damn. That got me. “Astronauts Dedicate Moon Crater to Carroll Wiseman, Wife of NASA Commander.” “The crew shared an emotional moment with mission control and the family of Reid Wiseman, whose wife, Carroll, died in 2020, on the ground in Houston.” #ArtemisII

Also, we can get to the moon faster than a train can travel across the US. It's like our infrastructure is perpetually stuck in 1965.

one of the best things about the library is you can pick up a random book based on title or cover and, if you hate it, it’s no big deal. and a person who will love that book you hated will find it someday.

I love how people are cheering on NASA like it’s their sports team EXCEPT everyone is cheering for the SAME team!

Jokic is the best offensive player I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. He pummeled Wemby, the supposed DPOY and asserts his will against literally everyone. He scares the shit out of me as an OKC fan. That said, Shai for MVP. #nba #basketball #mvp #shai #jokic

If I were in public office I would simply propose taxing every truck/SUV into oblivion and eliminate the truck tax loophole. Large trucks are dumb and almost no one should own one.

science lady is excited

I miss the trees of woods and forests, but these palms will do. #trees #nature #photography #gulfcoast

WALTER CRONKITE (gravely):

All the science that explained it got fired.

The most far out woman in the world. Astronaut Christina Koch

Ryan Gosling has already cemented himself as a legendary Sci-Fi actor with First Man and Blade Runner 2049. Project Hail Mary was just icing on the cake and next year’s Starfighter will be the cherry on top.

Y'all the Artemis II photos are going to be bonkers

I'm going to start watching Artemis more, as it's uplifting my spirits. I love seeing human joy and awe so uninterrupted.

losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes sounds nice

Kenai Fjords, Alaska, USA 🇺🇸

anybody who grew up on scifi knows that that 40 minute window where the astronauts are out of contact is where the weird shit happens that plays out over the rest of the story

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

extremely bad time for an astronaut to find out he's a werewolf

Beyond obsessed with this photo of the dark side of earth. THIS LITERALLY HAS NEVER BEEN POSSIBLE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER. #earth #photography #home

The world is dark and full of terrors. It’s nice to have things that bring joy in the midst of this hell hole. Find your joy. Find things that make you happy. And be unashamed of it.

Live look at Orion, the Moon, and Earth lined up 🌕🌎 “Everyone is in this picture”

#Artemis II - A beautiful moment from the live feed from Orion Spacecraft, in 5 mins the blackout from Mission Control, the feed captures the spacecraft, dark side of the moon and earth all in one shot 🚀🌕🌍

#Artemis II - Crew on Orion Spacecraft embrace as they share a special poignant moment They request to name one of the craters on the moon Carol in memory of Astronaut Reid Wisman’s wife who sadly passed away 🚀🌕

I just saw this. Artemis II astronaut Reid Wiseman named a newly discovered moon crater after his late wife, Carroll, who died in 2020 following a 5-year battle with cancer. #ProudBlue #ArtemisII

The highlight of my day was hearing the astronauts requesting to have a bright spot on the moon named after Reid Wiseman’s late wife, Carroll. We so desperately need these nudges towards what humanity should be and not what is currently being represented on-planet. Well done up there!❤️ #artemisii

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

The first astronaut in history to speak French while en route to the moon — Canada’s very own Jeremy Hansen 🇨🇦

I’ll never understand why landlords and HOAs hate indigenous/native plants so much. 🌱 #plants #biodiversity #letitgrow

I’m happy with a tie on the road in Miami. But parking the bus for the last 25 minutes against the most prolific scorer of all time was a questionable strategy though. #mls #austinfc #intermiami
