.@NASA’s 2025 Astronaut Candidate class now has a name. Meet the Platypi! ⭐ Ten explorers are currently training at NASA Johnson in Houston, mastering the technical and operational skills needed to become flight-eligible astronauts. Their missions? The International @Space_Station, the Moon, and eventually Mars. Learn more about the group: nasa.gov/centers-and-fa…

@NASA_Johnson @NASA How would one qualify for such training?

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Pleased to meet y’all! To the mooooon & mars! 🫵✨✨🌙

@NASA_Johnson @NASA what do you think will be the first real mission for them moon or mars

@NASA_Johnson @NASA

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Fun fact: Platypuses are one of the few mammals that can sense electric fields. If the ISS has a power leak, at least now we have experts who can literally "feel" it. ⚡️🦆

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Oh, I thought they were all from Australia 🤔

@NASA_Johnson @NASA The Platypi’s diverse skill sets will be critical for upcoming Artemis missions and long-duration stays on the Moon and Mars.

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Why does NASA have a platypus I think that's the big question here

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Love 'The Platypi'! The platypus is nature’s master adapter: a mammal that lays eggs and hunts using electroreception to detect electric fields in murky water. Brilliant choice for the 2025 class preparing for the ISS, the Moon, and Mars. Can't wait to see them in action!

@NASA_Johnson @NASA “Platypi” is unexpected… @Grok is there a deeper meaning behind this name?

@NASA_Johnson @NASA platypus comes from greek where the plural form of "-us" is "-odes" unlike Latin derived words ("-i") etymologically speaking the only correct plural of platypus is either "platypodes" (greek etymology, like octopodes) or "platypuses" (classic english|germanic pluralism)

@NASA_Johnson @NASA if the trenches can't send a meme by nasa saying the mission is the moon, we're fully cooked and theres no money left here.

@NASA_Johnson @NASA When will NASA yield to the superior space program SpaceX? Why waste all this time and money....

@NASA_Johnson @NASA An astronaut? Perry the astronaut!

@NASA_Johnson @NASA @grok and @nasa_johnson when will the official mascot of Artemis II be announced?

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Love the Platypi name! Diverse, versatile skills are exactly what deep space missions demand. These candidates are the next generation of explorers. 🚀

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Congrats.

@NASA_Johnson @NASA 🤩

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Building experience for the future of Astronaut

@NASA_Johnson @NASA 2025???

@NASA_Johnson @NASA @grok whats the name of the platypi

@NASA_Johnson @NASA training for mars sounds rough

@NASA_Johnson @NASA What's the name of the Platypus?

@NASA_Johnson @NASA platypi goin planetary fr

@NASA_Johnson @NASA platypi can't do this. look 👀

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Minunat!😃😍👨‍🚀👩‍🚀🧑‍🚀👨‍🚀🌹🌹🌹

@NASA_Johnson @NASA 1.

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Wowww. Platypi is the 2025 class

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Naming programs means building identity. Agents need the same. Branding matters.

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Wow, this is commendable, becoming flight astronauts is not an easy decision to make.👏👏

@NASA_Johnson @NASA حل الشكلة بلعليك بلعليك بعد ازنك

@NASA_Johnson @NASA Good luck to Flat Footers.

@NASA_Johnson @NASA What a bunch of AsCans
