Today is #Miles100. What’s your favorite flavor of Miles? Mine has to be hard bop era, though the electric years are pretty amazing too. #JazzSky

Another of the greats has gone home to the ancestors. If you don’t know Sonny, do yourself a favor and take a listen. #SonnyRollins #RestInPower

Repost by @nasa The bad news? There is no more Artemis II live mission coverage for you to watch. The good news? New Artemis II imagery continues to roll in. We're continuing to unveil new images from the Artemis II mission. You can find them here: Click to see original repost

Ratty ground comms. Anyone else remember the Soyuz landing (Ron Garan ISS) that had to use Morse code to communicate with recovery teams.

#ArtemisII CDR “stable 1, 4 green crew” Ok, now we can all breathe again.

#ArtemisII entry interface coming up followed by 6 min LOS.

CDR Wiseman: “Great view of the Moon. A little smaller than yesterday.” CAPCOM: “Guess we’re gonna have to go back.” #ArtemisII

Separation!

The Artemis II Orion capsule "Integrity" has separated from the European Service Module. The crew is now flying entirely ballistically. Eighteen minutes to atmospheric entry interface.

#ArtemisII CM/SM separation!

Sense of humor @esa.int #ArtemisII “Next Stop Earth”

And just like that #ArtemisII coverage goes from Bob Ross-esque serenity to edge of the seat, heart pounding, hold your breath intensity.

Houston, you’re getting pretty big in the window.

93 min to #ArtemisII splashdown!

Kinda disappointed this morning’s #ArtemisII wake up song wasn’t Peter Gabriel’s “Down to Earth” youtu.be/GEc7nQZi2Og?...

For those playing along with #ArtemisII home game, here’s timeline for April 10, 2026, All Times EDT 17:05 Crew reentry checklist 18:30 NASA+ live 19:33 CM/SM sep 19:37 CM "raise burn" 19:53 p.m.: EI (~400,000 feet). ~19:53 p.m. - 20:06 descent (6min LOS) 20:07 Splashdown 21:06 crew extraction

#Artemis II - As the crew prepares for splashdown, the physics of their return are staggering. Upon hitting Earth's atmosphere, the spacecraft will be screaming along at speeds reaching 23,839 mph (38,365 kph). 🚀🌍 1/4

#ArtemisII halfway between Earth and Moon! issinfo.net/artemis

PAO legend Rob Navias interviews Vanessa Wyche JSC Director during #ArtemisII livestream today. The new crew of PAOs do an outstanding job, but there’s just something about hearing Rob’s voice that says to me human spaceflight.

Very on brand this slight-of-hand. How is the premier federal science agency supposed to do, um, science?

Back in 2013 I got to participate in a NASASocial for the Orion Recovery Test. Here an Orion test article capsule was being recovered by the well deck USS Arlington. #ArtemisII recovery will occur off the coast of San Diego tomorrow.

#ArtemisII Lunar Flyby Observations – NASA astronaut Victor Glover NASA ID: art002e016204 art002e016204 (April 6, 2026) Date Created:2026-04-06 One of many amazing images from the mission at images.nasa.gov

Space humor on #ArtemisII with Jeremy question of procedure to CAPCOM, “Jeremy, we chose that fastener, not because it was easy, but because it was hard.” 😆

Artemis II is carrying a US flag onboard Orion that was on STS-1, STS-135, left at the ISS for several years until SpaceX Crew Dragon DM1 "captured the flag". And now its taking a trip to the moon and back. Rough estimate 1,152,357,360 miles travelled

This is possibly the most incredible tracking video of a rocket launch that I have ever seen, and Shuttle had some really incredible videos too! Just look at those gorgeous flame dynamics and then the booster separation... 🔭🧪 #Artemis

We produced an update episode to our official Artemis II series bringing you up to date on the NASA mission so far--from a firsthand account of launch, to TLI, lunar flyby, toilet troubles and more. Wherever you listen to podcasts. 🌔🌍🎧

The #ArtemisII Flickr album gives us all access to the amazing hires images the crew has been capturing. #Earthset flic.kr/p/2s68RXM

#Artemis II - Here is a labeled image so you can see the craters more clearly! At the 10 o’clock position of the Orientale basin, the two smaller craters – which the Artemis II crew has suggested be named Integrity & Carroll – are visible. 🚀🌕

#ArtemisII #MoonJoy

#Artemis II - We have the first image from yesterdays Lunar flyby captured by the crew on Orion EARTHSET. April 6, 2026. Humanity, from the other side. First photo from the far side of the Moon. Captured from Orion as Earth dips beyond the lunar horizon. 🚀🌕🌍

#Artemis II - The crew captured this image showing the rings of the Orientale basin during their lunar flyby on April 6. At the 10 o’clock position of the Orientale basin, the two smaller craters – which the Artemis II crew has suggested be named Integrity & Carroll – are visible. 🚀🌕
