A new perspective! πŸ›°οΈ Voyager 1 had been in space for two weeks and was 7.25 million miles (>11 million km) away OTD in 1977 when it captured this view of the whole Earth and the Moon in the same frame. It was our first image of the kind, but definitely not our last. 1. Voyager 1, 1977 2. DSCOVR, 2015 3. Artemis I, 2022 4. Artemis II, 2026

Had to put my baby girl down yesterday. She was 15. Rescued about 8 years ago from several months in the shelter. She was a good girl. Here’s Meow Meow with a milk mustache.

.@NASA and @SpaceX are now targeting as soon as early October for the launch of the Crew-13 mission to allow for completion of prelaunch activities, readiness reviews, and coordination of space station operations. The team successfully replaced an oxidizer valve in Dragon’s propulsion system after a leak was detected earlier in processing.

Christina touches on the concerns regarding the heat shield on Artemis II and the frame of mind she was in just before reentry. Quite touching actually. Worth a watch.

Gemini XI astronaut Dick Gordon became the world's fifth spacewalker 60 years ago today. As with previous Gemini spacewalks, he found that moving in space without hand- and footholds was much more strenuous than anticipated. Sweat got into one of Gordon’s eyes, and even after a few minutes rest, would not evaporate. Commander Pete Conrad called off the spacewalk after 33 minutes.

Frank Culbertson, Expedition 3 Commander aboard the @Space_Station, captured this photo as smoke rose from the Twin Towers in New York City 25 years ago today. We pause to reflect on that terrible day and pay tribute to the victims, survivors, and heroes of the 9/11 attacks.

Last week my sharp-as-a-tack 89-year old grandma asked me (kind of out of no where) β€œWhy are we going back to the moon?” I spouted off the typical talking points (to strengthen American leadership in space, unlock scientific discovery, drive innovation, and prepare for missions to Mars) but I caught myself also wondering if I really had the answers. Like GOOD answers. Answers regular people could get onboard with and rally behind. I’m all for going back to the moon but I struggled with that simple question. What would you have told her? nasa.gov/moonbase-phases/

Artemis III is currently scheduled to launch in June 2027. This mission will last approximately two weeks and involve three total launches! The first launch will be conducted by New Glenn, which will carry the MK2-IL lander into LEO, where it can remain for up to 90 days if needed. The second launch will be by SLS, which will carry Randy Bresnik, Luca Parmitano, Frank Rubio, and Andre Douglas aboard the Orion capsule. Orion will meet up with the MK2, remain docked for two days, and the crew will test the lander's systems. Next, a modified Starship will launch with a docking port attached to the nose and will rendezvous with Orion for a one-day docking. During this, they will test accelerating Orion with Starship. Once all tasks are complete, the crew will return home and splash down in the Pacific.
