#WeAreGoing #NASA #Artemis1

To the Moon! 🌕 #ICPS, built by ULA under a collaborative partnership with @BoeingSpace, is the upper stage of @NASA_SLS that will propel @NASA_Orion to the Moon, forging a new foundation for human deep space exploration. #Artemis

The @Space_Station is 356 feet (109 meters) long, just about one yard shy of an American football field—including the end zones. Go deep on more Station fun facts this #SBLVI: go.nasa.gov/3BlrE1W

Fun fact: If you laid the @Space_Station out end-to-end on a football field... it would be really tough to play a game. 🙃 #SuperBowl

Hello Los Angeles! The home of #SuperBowlLVI is seen in a photo taken as the football-field-sized station orbited 257 miles above the eastern Pacific Ocean in 2014.

Bonus image! When it’s time to focus, sometimes you need to take a good look at yourself. This “selfie” taken by Webb of its primary mirror was not captured by an externally mounted engineering camera, but with a special lens within its NIRCam instrument. #UnfoldTheUniverse

As we were about to dock into the ISS, I saw this amazing view from the window of the Soyuz, right next to my seat. I couldn't help but say 'Wow!' and I straight away took out my iPhone to take this photo. I mean, isn't it amazing!? This is real!!!

Falcon 9 and Dragon rolling out of the hangar at Launch Complex 39A ahead of launching astronauts this weekend

Today in 1961, the Mercury "Freedom 7" capsule flown by Alan Shepard on May 5, 1961 was donated to the @Smithsonian. Pictured here is Shepard peering inside the capsule while it was on display.

Gateway to Mars

October 23, 1968: As the Apollo 7 crew arrives home, the UPI reports that NASA has asked McDonnell Douglas to design a "Super Gemini" spacecraft to follow Apollo as an American space bus of the future. The initial proposal will seat nine astronauts.

DART, Double Asteroid Redirection Test, has arrived at its final stop before its launch into space. This is one of NASA's most unique missions and will be the first-ever space mission to demonstrate asteroid deflection by kinetic impactor. MORE HERE>> go.nasa.gov/3Ealbad
