That's us! 🌍 The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

If you haven’t seen this bit from Saturday Night Live from last night yet, you absolutely have to. It’s hilarious and at the same time extremely therapeutic. Even if it’s not real. “DO YOU WANT THIS TO BE REAL?”

RIP and thank you, Dr. West. Without GPS, we have no idea where we might be now.

Carl Sagan’s prediction about America, made 31 years ago.

Did you play this one? Time for a trip down memory lane to the year 1991: Scorched Earth, the self-proclaimed "Mother of All Games," is a glorious shareware artillery game for MS-DOS, created by Wendell Hicken. Players command tanks on destructible 2D terrain, taking turns to calibrate angle and power for ballistic shots while also having to consider wind and gravity impact. You can customize various settings, making each game unique: gravity, meteor showers, and economies to buy wild weapons - from nukes and napalm to dirt bombs and MIRVs - plus defenses like shields. It supports up to 10 hot-seat players which was no small feat back in 1991! Its physics mastery and replayability paved the way for and inspired later classics like Worms, cementing its legacy.
