Moon tools 🔨 on Moon rocks ⛰️ on the Moon 🌖 on this day, 1971 📅 Apollo 14 🚀 #ApolloRemastered

55 years ago TODAY: Apollo 14 touched down in the Fra Mauro Highlands on the Moon. Alan Shepard (pictured) had become the first American in space 10 years earlier. Check out the linear pattern in the regolith, on the right, caused by the LM's descent engine exhaust. Photo: #ApolloRemastered

‼️UPDATE: Artemis II is now fully fueled! 🚀 All stages are in replenish mode (small top-ups of propellants). Up next - "...transitioning to the terminal countdown sequence, which includes simulated launch operations and final readiness verifications." www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio...

JUST IN - Artemis launch director has just given the “GO” to begin loading cryogenic liquid propellant into the SLS. A big moment in the final testing, before a potential launch as early as Sunday 8th. www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio...

Due to weather, NASA has now postponed the wet dress rehearsal to Monday Feb 2nd which has moved the launch date to NET Feb 8th: www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio...

With Artemis II just weeks away, this years anniversary of the Apollo 1 fire - today in 1967 - and Kennedy's sentiment from his Rice University speech 5 years earlier, feels especially poignant. As well as featuring Ed White on the cover, the book and exhibition close with a tribute to the crew.

Sad to head to @jodrellbank.bsky.social today to close the #GeminiAndMercuryRemastered exhibition, but it was tempered by stunning views of the dish in the snow! And the excitement that it will soon open at one of the world's most iconic venues! London's @royalalberthall.bsky.social (16 Jan-16 Mar)!

NASA has confirmed the roll-out of the SLS for Artemis II will happen in the next two weeks! And they're still targeting a launch window that opens February 6 🚀 (Photo reprocessed from NASA image of Artemis I roll-out)

I'm supposed to be at a NYE party night but might have to send my apologies as this just arrived.😍 @andysaunders-1.bsky.social

Back from a few days away over Xmas, and settled down to have a delve into my favourite present. Stunning work by @andysaunders-1.bsky.social on the restoration of these images.

Christmas Eve, 1968, Apollo 8. The first photograph of Earth from the Moon, taken by one of us. Rarely seen, Anders took this extraordinary B&W shot (remastered / cropped here) before using the colour magazine to take one of the most famous photographs in history (both are in the book).

57 years ago today - December 21, 1968. Apollo 8. The very first photograph of the whole Earth taken by one of us 🌎 If all goes to plan, in the next few months, the first such photograph in over half a century will be taken, on Artemis II.

The Moon sinks away over Ron Evan's shoulder during his deep space EVA, on the journey back to Earth #OTD in 1972. This was our last voyage to the Moon, but if all goes to plan, we'll finally return in 2-4 months' time.

#OTD in 1972. Apollo 17, EVA-1. Gene Cernan checks his cuff checklist, "Take locator photo to LM (Lunar Module)." The LM is 150m away (centre). Jack Schmitt is left, the rover is right. This 7 shot stitched panorama is also in @sciencemuseum.org.uk, London - except it's 6m tall and 20m wide!

60 years ago today - Jim Lovell and Frank Borman were in orbit on Gemini VII, waiting for their visitors, who were still on Earth - the crew of Gemini VI-A. 3 days later, the crews would perform the world's first rendezvous in space. Wave clouds over the Andes, illuminated like a golden fire:

Sound ON! #OTD in 1972, Apollo 17, our last mission to the Moon, entered lunar orbit. Earthset, narrated by Apollo 17 CMP Ron Evans. (Five remastered Hasselblad stills, aligned and animated. Audio from Evan's 1983 talk "Let's Fly To The Moon" youtu.be/ajFLUvpeNw8?...)

Hooray, my copy of Apollo Remastered by Andy Saunders finally arrived! I think it's the most beautiful spaceflight book I have ever seen. I'm really surprised at how many of the photographs are new to me.

3 years ago today - the opening night of our Moonwalkers show at Lightroom, London. The great David Hockney's reaction as an Apollo Remastered panorama of Shorty crater was revealed on this huge scale was priceless! The show is finally back in London now!: tinyurl.com/ybmhdzbc

3 years ago today! And in a few short months, 4 people will be on board 🚀 #ArtemisII
