Being an astronaut is actually insane. You’re not watching the Moon from Earth, you’re right there with it. And the scariest part? Everything outside your spacecraft isn’t made for you. It doesn’t support life. One mistake and that’s it.

Love God ❤️🦅

One day, we will be out there, among the stars

We’re constantly reminded how small and insignificant we are and yet we can’t stop destroying one another

The selfie of the year🧡😊🦒

🚨: Jaw dropping view of Moon during 54 minutes of totality... and that's Venus.

Earthset. The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

@realgoodrealhot Survival doesn’t make it any less intense. The fact that humans can even go there and come back safely is exactly what makes it so impressive to me.

@TemzyD It's not scary. Everyone we send into deep space survives every time. Relax

@clarkkarmstrong The difference is it’s not a screenplay, it’s real. That’s what makes it even crazier.

@TemzyD Yeah it's like a Hollywood screenplay right?

@MiniMeVision Yeah, they chose it, but that’s exactly what makes it impressive to me. Knowing the risk and still going anyway takes a different level of courage. That’s what I was appreciating.

@TemzyD They wanted to do this- so it's not scary. It's like somebody base jumping off a cliff- you could make it or you could die. It was their decision. Live with it.

One of the most well acted scenes in any Christopher Nolan film.

Me and my mutuals since yesterday

"We will always choose each other." Mission control has reacquired signal with the Artemis II crew after the mission’s planned loss of signal. Our astronauts are once again using the Deep Space Network to keep conversation and science data flowing between space and Earth.

A moment of appreciation for all Astronauts: past, present and future. Thank you for pushing boundaries, inspiring generations and carrying humanity into the unknown.

Space exploration drives technology, teaches us about Earth and the cosmos, and could help secure humanity’s future.

You won't be dragged. You only need to be educated. If we never explored the space we'd have: - No satellites, no GPS (maps, Bolt/Uber, delivery tracking affected) - poor weather forecasting, storms come with little warning - Limited global communication, weaker TV, internet, and live broadcasts - Harder to track hurricanes, floods, and wildfires - Weak climate monitoring - No reliable asteroid detection systems - No chance of colonizing other planets - No “backup plan” if Earth faces a global disaster - Humanity stays permanently Earth-bound Among others.

Just imagine how big and powerful the Universe is. Now imagine… if we’re completely alone in it. Or if we’re not. Either answer is absolutely crazy.

@ibn_wittig As beautiful as space is… it’s terrifying.

@TemzyD Its happening now.

There’s a moment during Artemis II where everything goes silent. As the spacecraft drifts behind the Moon, Earth disappears and so does every signal. No calls. No updates. No connection. Just a crew, a spacecraft and the far side of the Moon.

A place no human on Earth can see. For a while, they are completely alone on the other side of the moon. And in that silence, prayers will be whispered both on Earth and within that spacecraft. Afterward, we will celebrate and make history without a doubt..
