"Artemis III is an incredibly exciting, complicated, and highly coordinated multi-launch campaign. It’s going to happen in a short period of time with three of the world’s most powerful rockets." Artemis lead Jeremy Parsons describes exactly what Artemis III will entail.

To anyone building a startup that's trying to raise money or sell their product: Do NOT start by talking about your technology. I repeat, DO NOT DO THAT. First, describe the problem. Then who has the problem. Then describe the level of pain that the problem causes. Then talk about how much the people who feel that pain are willing to pay. THEN give first-hand evidence for all of that. Then talk about your business model: who pays, how much, when, how, etc. Then ask the person you are talking to about whether they want to hear about your solution. Not your technology. Your solution. If you don't know the difference, then go back to your business model and start over. Only after ALL of that, would an investor or customer be even remotely interested in how your technology solves PART of the problem. *Screen shot from SpaceNews' Military Space article "What defense buyers want from space startups":

When the @StepsLeaps community visited @skyler_chan_'s HQ months ago I told the crowd ISRU was going to be one of those terms that defines the coming decades as we expand to the stars. Companies like @itemfarm, @gru_space, and others will define the off world industrial base.
Replying to @skyler_chan_
They put lunar ISRU development as a giant near-term new market, right in their IPO prospectus. I feel like @gru_space’s valuation just doubled. Make it happen @skyler_chan_!

This is incredible. The new @NASA image release from #Artemis includes a sequence of 'Hello World' still photographs. I've been processing / animating them and here's what the original didn't show us: Satellites, including their solar arrays, lightning storms and dancing aurora!

if you've built flight hardware and are looking to work on our historic payload landing on the Moon next year, email me at skyler [at] gru [dot] space. we are hiring founding avionics/ee engineers in sf to change the course of human history when we make the world's first bricks on the Moon in 2027.

This site is incredible, all the NASA Artemis photos in one timeline: artemistimeline.com/
Science communicator Hank Green launched a specialized website that organizes every publicly released photo from the #ArtemisII mission into an interactive, live timeline. Located at artemistimeline(dot)com, the site syncs each image with the crew's official mission schedule and the real-time position of the Orion spacecraft during its 10 day journey around the Moon. By utilizing EXIF metadata from NASA's Flickr archives and trajectory data from public APIs, the platform allows users to see exactly where the crew was when a specific photograph was captured. Green utilized AI tools to assist with the massive data correlation required to align thousands of images with the spacecraft's orbital path. Source: artemistimeline.com

(1 of 2) Let’s Send Frank to Space! @fwhite66 coined the phrase “The #OverviewEffect” — how seeing our planet from afar can change the way people think. He has inspired many astronauts, including me, to share our perspectives. 👇

Wonderful initiative to send Frank White to space! Frank coined the term Overview Effect to describe the feeling and the impact of seeing earth from space and has been a tireless advocate for humanity's recognition of our place in the cosmos. x.com/i/broadcasts/1vJpPrdDB…

Celebrating 65 years of humans in space! Today on the International Day of Human Space Flight, we honor the first flight into space made by Yuri Gagarin in 1961, as well as the first Space Shuttle launch in 1981. The best is yet to come.
