PM Carney: "Those whose politics is to destroy, to demolish, dismantle, they're not going to change their instincts. This is, in many respects, this is their moment. We can't match them by being timid imitations of them. We can't answer them by pining for an old order that's not going to return ... it can only be answered by positive action, by building that which comes next."

#Peace is everyone’s responsibility, beginning with civil authorities. To govern means to love one’s own country as well as neighboring countries. The commandment “love your neighbor as yourself” is equally applicable to international relations! #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

I was supposed to leave Rise in Integrity….but that was not something I was going to do. I stuffed that little guy in a dry bag we had in our survival kit and hooked the bag onto my pressure suit.

I am so inspired by these people. They embody what we are capable of when we: - give ourselves near-impossible goals - work for decades to change who we are - are willing to take enormous risks together - celebrate the magnificence of shared life. Well done @NASAArtemis team! @astro_reid @Astro_Christina @AstroVicGlover @Astro_Jeremy (photos Bill Ingalls & crew)

So, having a late spring break is hard, but this year it meant that I got to spend my whole break geeking out, watching this truly inspirational team capture the hearts of the world. It was exactly what I needed. I laughed, I smiled, I cried, I sat in wonder. It was beautiful!
Splashdown! The journey of more than 1.1 million kilometers concluded today. Jeremy Hansen and the Artemis II crew are back on Earth after becoming the first humans in over 50 years to venture to the Moon. Welcome home, Jeremy!

So far away, and yet only 16 minutes to splashdown. Science is amazing! @NASAArtemis @csa_asc

Yes - there's nowhere for the heat to go. So we coldsoak the vehicle before reentry and wear temp-controlled spacesuits. That gives us lots of time before it gets too hot inside - by then we're through and down into the cool upper atmosphere. Like jumping through a ring of fire.

"...I looked at thousands of people cheering, and it's wonderful. All America stood together for this. That's what we need in America. I am proud of them all, from the Janitor to the astronauts" Not a quote from Mr. Isaacman. Not Wiseman, not Glover, nor Koch. THAT'S MY GRANDMA
With all eyes on Artemis II, it’s easy to forget the thousands of hands that got the crew there. One 93-year-old “Space Grandma” traveled from Oklahoma to witness her grandsons’ work on the Orion spacecraft. The Weather Channel’s Katie Tutrone met her to see how a passion for the stars spans generations:
