Good Morning 🚀🌕

In ten years time people will not believe this was actually happening

Man, if Mark Rutte had a superpower, it would be the most extraordinary power to deny reality in the universe.

Il est des moments où l’Histoire reprend son souffle et montre à l’Humanité l’horizon de sa grandeur. Avec Artemis II, plus de cinquante ans après Apollo 17, la Lune redevient ce rendez-vous des peuples qui mettent en commun et qui osent. Français, Européens, nous pouvons être fiers de participer à cette aventure extraordinaire en ayant un rôle clé grâce au module de service européen développé par l’ESA. Félicitations aux équipes de la NASA et de l’ESA pour ce lancement réussi. Nous allons suivre de près toute la suite. Dans l’espace aussi, notre destin s’écrit par l’ambition, la souveraineté et l’unité.

A must-read piece from Ukraine by my friend and @Renew_Democracy colleague @MaxBoot. Ukraine is leading the free world in battling Russian aggression, and in tech innovation at the front. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

The return to the Moon is an awesome thing. For those of you who feel the mission is tainted by the current US leadership, please don’t let that spoil this for you. Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins made history while Nixon remains in infamy. So it will be with this new adventure…

Godspeed my friends. I don’t have words to describe this feeling. Say hi to the Moon, and see you in 10 days.

This propaganda laid the groundwork for it, and of course russia is gloating.

3...2...1... release! 🌊 An exact duplicate of the @NASA_Orion spacecraft makes a splash as it is dropped from 7 feet above the Hydro Impact Basin at @NASA_Langley. The data will be evaluated to prepare for splashdown of a crewed Orion for #Artemis II:

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Another realization: Apollo 8 flew to the Moon on Christmas. Artemis 2 will fly to the Moon on Easter.

NASA is sending humans to fly around the Moon—and you can watch! 🚀 Live coverage of Artemis II begins today. Full schedule: go.nasa.gov/4dekJwq For the latest updates on Artemis II, follow @NASA and @NASAArtemis.

The @NASA Artemis II crewed mission around the Moon will inspire the next generation of explorers, and show every child – in America, in Canada, and across the world – that if they can dream it, they can be it.

Brisket and cobbler and quiche, oh my! Curious what astronauts eat on a 10-day trip around the Moon? Read about how we design and prepare meal plans for Artemis II: go.nasa.gov/4ceYlSu

Someone just caught Artemis from their flight. Cool view of little piece of history!

Cheering on the astronauts and crew of Artemis II from America’s Front Yard. Out of this world! 🚀🇺🇸🏛️🌳🌕

Signal acquired! 📡 Engineers at @NASAJPL have confirmed that the Orion spacecraft is communicating with the Deep Space Network. For the first time in over 50 years, we’re receiving a signal from a spacecraft carrying humans toward the Moon.
