Reid Wiseman

Every astronaut brings a different story to the mission, usually led by curiosity, service, and a willingness to chase big dreams. @astro_reid is a great example of that path. Proud to see Americans like him carrying exploration forward.🇺🇸

Watching from Launch Control as @TaylorHose and his close out crew drive toward a fully loaded rocket.

@USAspaceenjoyer Don’t tempt me.

A 360° ROLL????

@astro_Pettit You are amazing.

Orbital star trails showing satellites flashing white marks into the time history of arcing stars. When viewed up close, they remind me of scratches on a vinyl record!

Immense pride seeing the rocket reach 100% fuel load last night, especially knowing how challenging the scenario was for our launch team doing the dangerous and unforgiving work. The crew just shared a peaceful breakfast with our families and we jump back into training tomorrow to start our preps for a March launch to the Moon.

I just drove into the quarantine facility @NASA_Johnson and passed your ship(s). Loving this! GO MK1 GO!

If the vehicle is ready, the February launch window has some FINE weather…

Bill Whitaker asks the first astronauts set to travel to the moon in more than half a century what’s going through their minds. “Don't screw it up,” responds Victor Glover, the pilot on Artemis II. “I'm joking, but partly not joking.” cbsn.ws/4rqYreC

@virtuschronos I was supposed to capture that cargo ship and was awake late watching the launch in Node 1 after the previous attempt scrubbed due to ships in the restricted area if I recall. I hurt for that team of exceptional folks who put the vehicle together.

@AstroJoeB Can’t argue with that

I’m pleased to inform you that the TikTok Artemis edits go incredibly hard

@DeeW31_ This is wonderful! Even if we don’t get off the pad during their visit I know they will remember it forever. My first trip to KSC was 1986…no launch, no rockets on the pads…and yet still transformative to a young soul.

There is nothing left on my to-do list. I’m ready to go.

@Astro_Jenni Keep that cute little rocket warm tonight!

I arrived yesterday at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral to support preparations to be completed before the launch of Artemis II. Hope you like the view as much as I do 🚀

Looking at this picture all I can think about is how deeply committed to each other these four people have become. We have each other’s backs…always.

@DJSnM I’ll pass that along.

I really hope NASA will let us know when urine dumps happen on Artemis II so that the amateur astronomers can correlate it with their photometry.

@Velocity_Photos @go4gordon Takes a forever-long 6.5 seconds to see the altitude click up to 625’ when the booster nozzles are clear of the top of structure. You can see the guidance needles trying to roll us far earlier but the rocket is appropriately patient.

@go4gordon Oh man hearing, “Tower Clear.” gives me goosebumps!!

@TaylorHose Somewhat interested…

If you’re interested in the Artemis Closeout Crew and our day of launch operations, I recently did an interview with Philip Sloss to discuss these topics! youtu.be/QGc0A0cdjG4

@SpaceflightNow The rocket is cool, but the people involved are amazing. Thanks for highlighting!

Workers are loading highly toxic hydrazine fuel aboard the Solid Rocket Boosters today at pad 39B for the Artemis 2 mission. They are just visible on the mobile launcher deck wearing protective, white, airtight suits. The hydrazine powers the boosters' steering system.
