All four astronauts are out of Integrity and on the front porch, awaiting the helicopter! Mission Control is celebrating!

Splashdown!

What a beautiful view!

"Houston, Integrity, we have you loud and clear"

"We have a great view of the Moon out of window 2." "Looks a little smaller than yesterday." "Guess we'll have to go back!"

Crew module / service module separation!

Seeing the Artemis 2 crew's reactions on being asked about maple syrup vs. Nutella on pancakes is delightful!

Relatable moment re. bidding farewell overheard on the NASA Artemis 2 stream at MET 05/06:43: KOCH: Usually when we say good night to Houston we call about 5 more times; that's our pattern CAPCOM: I just feel like I am contributing to that trend, so alright, we'll stand by for the next good night

Astronauts reviewing a new earthrise photo? 👀

What a view!

Got a ShakeAlert for an earthquake! It was nice to have a few seconds before shaking started. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

The stage separation looked so cool!

Going!

T-10 minute countdown resuming!

Even though I can't see any aurora here, I love nights like these! Everyone always has such amazing pictures!

Aftershock?

Bay Area earthquake just a moment ago!

I stayed up way too late watching the most recent episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ("A Space Adventure Hour"), but the only thing I regret is not watching it sooner! It was such a delightful episode!

I saw that sign last month! I think one of the questions the sign poses (well... posed) was quite relevant: "What do omissions in the historic narrative reveal about our society?"

Visited some redwood trees today!

Sorry, what? The FAA is discontinuing the Aeronautical Chart Users' Guide? The chart legends aren't comprehensive -- what are we supposed to do if we see something on a chart that isn't in the legend? Just hope to find someone who knows? Email the FAA? Guess? www.faa.gov/air_traffic/...

The most recent Doctor Who episode (series 15 episode 2 "Lux") was the perfect kind of silly! I unironically kinda loved the gag leading into the third act. :P

Hooray for MyShake! Didn't feel shaking where I was in the Bay Area (earthquake was in Humboldt County), but glad I got an early warning! USGS link: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

It's not as fancy as an "I Voted" sticker, but... confirmation that my vote by mail ballot was counted!

Small/medium-ish Bay Area earthquake?

Just felt a small earthquake a couple minutes ago! earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Me as I flip the switch on my computer's power supply back on (having watched a lot of Star Trek recently): *energize*

Hi everyone! Not really sure what to say as an intro, so I thought I'd make a silly little poem instead: just joined bluesky; it seems pretty sweet with feeds, cool peeps, and posts called skeets I like flying and space and making playful things hopefully this post brightens your screens!
