Orion's main parachute has deployed. The spacecraft has a system of 11 chutes that will slow it down from around 300 mph to 20 mph for splashdown. Get more updates on the Artemis II blog: nasa.gov/blogs/artemis/

How the shield that saves Artemis II works [🎞️ thebrainmaze]

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶 The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

Peek inside the Orion spacecraft: how four astronauts live, breathe, and survive on a journey to the Moon.At the top sits the Crew Module — the astronauts’ home in deep space. Picture sharing a living space no larger than two minivans with three crewmates for weeks on end. This compact habitat is where they work, sleep, eat, exercise, and yes… use the famously tricky space toilet (microgravity makes even basic biology an engineering challenge). It’s an intensely intimate environment that tests both technical skill and human resilience every single day.Yet this small Crew Module would be lifeless without the powerhouse directly beneath it: the European Service Module. Built by ESA, this vital section is the spacecraft’s life-support engine room. It carries the main propulsion engines that will maneuver Orion around the Moon, massive solar arrays that generate electricity, and the sophisticated systems that recycle air, produce drinkable water, and maintain comfortable temperatures in the deadly vacuum of space.Together, the Crew Module and European Service Module form Orion — not just a spacecraft, but a carefully engineered oasis designed to keep humans alive and thriving in the harsh, unforgiving void of deep space.

400 years of data in one animation: global power never stands still. From Asian dominance to Western industrial rise and now China’s surge, the centre of gravity keeps shifting. Today’s turmoil feels new, but history says it’s the norm. Source: linkedin.com/posts/jameseag…

Victor Glover (pilot of Artemis II) was already a spacecraft pilot for SpaceX Crew-1. He is a naval captain who has had his naval aviator wings for 25 years. He has three (3) masters degrees, including in flight test engineering and systems engineering. He's been a test pilot since 2007. He has thousands of flight hours.

NASA has launched a website where you can follow the Artemis II mission to the Moon in real time 👩‍🚀 Absolutely amazing. Link 🔗👇

I literally can’t stop rewatching this launch. It’s indescribably beautiful.

The history of the United States of America 🇺🇸

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, says that US Government raising taxes doesn’t do anything to help the average American He says raising taxes does nothing because Congress just launders the money to their friends, special interest groups and “17,000 lobbying groups” “I don't know anyone, and you guys in the room, you might be Democrats, Republicans who thinks that sending another trillion dollars to Washington D.C will actually improve anything. So when you say raise taxes, if you said raise taxes and directly give it to the people who need it, do it. That does not happen. It goes to all these interest groups, and they give it to their friends and all that.” “Which is why the people are considered a swamp. It's kind of a swamp, the 17,000 lobbying groups. But bank companies are guilty too. They're just fighting for their one self-interest as opposed to what's good for my country”

For those who may not know or are curious Why is the program called “Artemis”? 🏹✨ • In Greek mythology, Artemis (known as Diana to the Romans) is the goddess of the Moon, the hunt, the wild, and untamed nature She is the twin sister of Apollo, the god of the Sun • The Apollo program of the 1960s–70, the one that landed on the Moon, was named after Apollo himself. Choosing Artemis as its successor is a poetic and symbolic gesture: the twin sister of Apollo now leads humanity back to the Moon, marking a new era of exploration and discovery • NASA announced the name in 2019 precisely for this mythological resonance: Artemis embodies humanity’s return to the Moon in the 21st century, a new chapter driven by ambition, unity, and the enduring pull of the unknown 💫

Jamie Dimon made alot of sense regarding the need to wrest victory from Iran. If the ayatollahs get the Strait, they will choke the free world.

People should be really proud of our country right now. I know I am. There aren't many countries that step up and try to do the impossible. We do. We landed on the Moon. We're going back right now. And we're not stopping there.
