Nothing like adding more cameras to a space mission! Never seen Starship from orbit like this - great way to view heat shield tiles before reentry #Starship #SpaceX #RocketScience

Starship landing was epic for Flight 12 Despite the explosion (which would have happened if everything went perfect) the view is undeniably 'wow'. A massive moment. #SpaceX #Starship

A big day! Good luck @SpaceX team getting Starship ready for another GO! We’ll be there 🚀

Artemis IV mission may be getting a major change! Moving to a more fuel efficient orbit may solve some lander problems. Less fuel, less complexity, and a faster mission. #Artemis #Starship #Space

Watch the Falcon Heavy boosters touch down at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after a successful entry burn and sonic booms! Truly an incredible sight. #SpaceX #FalconHeavy

The Moon….

In addition to science, cargo vehicles also may deliver fresh fruit and vegetables to the @Space_Station. This is always a welcome change from our dehydrated and preserved food and is a huge morale boost, bringing smiles all around. Thank you to all those involved in this shipment on the @northropgrumman Cygnus NG-24!

Every time I look up at the Moon now, even the one at Space Center Houston, it feels different. It’s no longer just a distant light in the night sky — it’s a place I’ve studied up close with my own eyes. I find myself tracing its features, recognizing the shadows, the craters, the quiet stories written across its surface. The Moon hasn’t changed, but now when I observe it, it comes back to life in my mind with a new and treasured perspective.

Epic day for NASA and everyone around the world who contributed to this. The Artemis era has truly begun.

And splashdown! America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon and bringing them home safely. Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy did an outstanding job. These talented astronauts inspired the world and represented their space agencies and nations as humanity’s ambassadors to the stars. This was a test mission, the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, pushing farther into the unforgiving environment of space than ever before, and it carried real risk. They accepted that risk for all we stood to learn and for the exciting missions that follow, as we return to the lunar surface, build a Moon base, and prepare for what comes next. And they were not alone. The entire NASA workforce, our commercial and international partners, and the hopes and dreams of people all over the world were with them. The astronauts know it, and you should too. This mission would not have been possible without you. Congratulations. Artemis II, mission accomplished.

#nasa #artemis2 reentry & splashdown is TODAY! 6:30PM ET well be LIVE with our Guest hosts Andrew Matt and Caitlin will bring their #astrophotography , #astronomy , and #astrophycics SCIENCE POWERS to this high energy (literally) finale of Artemis II Show some love, bring your curiosity, and let’s bring these Astronaut Heroes back home to Earth safely!

Online space trolls usually flood the space feeds, but now a new challenger has appeared! AI-generated fake content about the real mission are flooding social media, even overshadowing the reach of real NASA missions like Artemis 2. #Space #AI #Artemis2

After 20 years chasing a dream, my passion for space exploration is as strong as ever. Covering this moon mission daily is a profound joy and a blessing, sharing this incredible adventure with everyone. #SpaceExploration #MoonMission #artemis2 #nasa #todayinspace

WE’RE GOING BACK TO THE MOON!!! Maybe Wednesday if things hold up for that 2 hour launch window. I’m so excited! It’s so close… Just grabbed a picture of the Moon with my telescope and I found myself staring at our Lunar partner and it real hit me. For the first time in my life…and in many people’s lives…humans will be there. Orbiting. And that sets up this incredible lunar campaign that @nasa and @NASAAdmin has planned for us. I feel so lucky to be here. And to play a part in communicating this grand adventure to curious people out there. I’m excited to have friends and community on the podcast live stream Wednesday. Bringing people together for this glorious @NASAArtemis mission feels like an honor as a space communicator who’s been covering space exploration for over a decade with @TodayInSpacepod Let’s. Go. Artemis 2 Crew! and all the humans behind them working tirelessly to get them there and back safely on this grand adventure 🚀🧑🏼‍🚀🧑🏾‍🚀🧑🏻‍🚀👩🏼‍🚀

The focus is shifting: short visits to sustained Lunar presence. Frequent crewed missions, multiple launch providers, & building surface infrastructure. Not only will lunar exploration advance but also serve as a proving ground for Mars missions. #SpaceExploration #MoonBase

NASA is finally prioritizing 3D printing in space as critical infrastructure! It's incredible to see a 10-year plan for the first deep space base, bringing sci-fi to life. #SpaceTech #NASA #3DPrinting
