NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

best easter card :)

Still hooked by this pic portraying the fragility of our home. The line roughly marks the edge of space. This skin is all that protects us from radiation/debris, enables the H₂O-cycle, holds the O₂ we breathe. Life would be impossible without this greenhouse. Let's stop messing with its thermostat!

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

🚨 Christina Koch has officially become the farthest any woman has ever traveled from Earth

i do exactly this and it's so much fun :) Beats any news channel out there.

🧪🛰️🔭

The political calculations that result in cutting NASA funding the day after the Artemis II launch must be fascinating

exercise time on #Orion (if you want to see the capsule moving left and right lol)

Amazing to realize that every single one of us, save four, are in this photo.

Want to observe the Moon at the same time as the #ArtemisII crew? check out our Citizen Science campaign, coordinated by two of our Lunar Science teammates, to observe impact flashes on the unilluminated parts of the Moon! 🔭🧪🚀🌘 science.nasa.gov/citizen-scie...

Let’s talk about how this works and why we have older devices. When I started doing cabin integration back in 2017, we actually had a 2020 launch date. We bought the tablets the crew used for Artemis II back then. To not spend as much, we limited our choice to devices that were in the ISS catalog.

Good morning to everyone, especially Orion/Artemis crew and their fixed toilet

What a fucking shot holy shit

There are now 10 toilets in Space International Space Station: 4 Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1 Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1 Tiangong Space Station: 2 Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1 Artemis II on way around Moon: 1 This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

Celebrating 58 tortillas that #Artemisii crew took with them!!!

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch: This is Victor. We are going for our families. This is Christina. We are going for our teammates. This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

Current flight status 🌎 🚀 🌕 #Artimis2 #NASA

my belly is double anxious from all this whipped cream and launch... go girl go

For our families, for our teams, and for all humanity!!! LET'S GOOOOOOOO! #ArtemisII 🧪🔭🚀🌔

#Artemis to the moon!!!!

Stage 1 and 2 of the #Artemis cake!

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭

Update, Artemis cake is being baked :) will report on the final outcome!

🚀 Artemis II update: the launch teams have begun filling the rocket with its fuel. Stay tuned! 📸: NASA

LAUNCH DAY!!!!!

Ok for the next 24 hours this is a moon stan account only* *unless It happens.

Artemis launch cake has been planned. Baking starts tomorrow!!!!!

Another good 🧵about Artemis II, hew crew will live in Orion for 10 days. 🧪🔭🚀🌔

Jason here is giving a really cool, insider view in all things Orion/Artemis :)

watching hail mary with my son and 15 of his buddies. just want to say, fk you to the current government for many many things, but BIG fk you for trying to destroy science and nasa. you are destroying the wonder.

My Chuck Norris story. We deployed a glider in the Dana Point area and it got tangled in kelp. We spent a day on a dinghy waiting for it to come back. Someone said that up on the cliff, that is Chuck Norris house. I just googled. He didn't have a house in Dana Point.

dog and I and plants are photosynthesizing. Happy equinox

Welcoming the Equinox light in at La Hougue Bie. A deliberate and powerful Neolithic alignment that illuminates the burial chamber just twice a year. Very lucky to be invited to witness this prehistoric spectacle. 🏺
