Happy day! I counted 4 raspberries, 2 cherries, 1 magnolia, an apple, a pear, and a peach, plus 4-7 grape vines that made it through the winter. Today the oldest cherry, the apple and the pear are wearing flowers. Might start a few more cherries, since they seem to like my dirt.

5 years ago today: NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter made the first powered flight on another planet. 🚁 Over the course of 72 flights and 3 years, it soared higher, faster, and farther than ever envisioned. go.nasa.gov/3JrXDSQ

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Recovery operations for Artemis II require elite coordination between NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the USS John P Murtha. As a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, the Murtha is uniquely equipped to handle the Orion spacecraft recovery. πŸš€πŸŒ–βš“οΈ

Big smiles from Christina and Victor on the deck of the USS John P. Murtha, as they waited to be escorted for their routine post-mission medical checks.
