"Houston, we've had a problem" Some of the most famous words in NASA's history were spoken on this day in 1970. Two days into the Apollo 13 mission that was to land in the Moon's Fra Mauro region, a routine stirring of the spacecraft's oxygen tanks led to disaster. The crew reported hearing a loud bang and then noted that oxygen tank 2 was empty and tank 1's pressure was falling. With the failing Apollo 13 spacecraft over 210,000 miles (330,000 km) from Earth, the race to save the crew from the life-threatening accident began. In this photo we see the Mission Operations Control Room at what is now Johnson Space Center, during a television transmission that took place just before the accident. Eugene F. Kranz (wearing a white vest with his back to camera), was on duty as one of the four Apollo 13 flight directors. On the large screen we see astronaut Fred W. Haise Jr., Apollo 13's lunar module pilot.

Jesse, Steve, Laddy, and Vlad….such an incredible feeling to welcome you aboard Integrity after a nearly 700,000 mile journey. Forever thankful for your service to our crew and the nation.

The world watched. Artemis II carried humans farther into space than we’ve ever been in over half a century and showed a new generation what exploration looks like. The journey back to the Moon is underway. Artemis III is up next.

New photos from the Moon! We're continuing to unveil new images from the Artemis II mission—including these two photos from April 6, showing a crescent Earthrise and a closeup of the lunar farside. Keep up with the latest: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

Phenomenal view of Artemis II from a plane

Celebrating 65 years of humans in space! Today on the International Day of Human Space Flight, we honor the first flight into space made by Yuri Gagarin in 1961, as well as the first Space Shuttle launch in 1981. The best is yet to come.

Starship

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman welcomed the Artemis II crew home on Saturday after their historic mission around the moon. "You helped the world start believing again."

Before reflecting on the successfully completed Artemis II mission, astronaut Jeremy Hansen mentioned that "this is the furthest I've been from Reid in a long time," referring to how the four astronauts spent the entire mission close together in the Orion capsule. Astronaut Reid Wiseman stood up and sat next to Hansen in response. "Thank you, that's better," Hansen said.

"This was not easy...when you're out there, you just want to get back to your families and your friends." Astronaut Reid Wiseman gets emotional talking about his trip to space — Artemis II crew shares a group hug.

Mission complete ❤️❤️❤️

public speaking skills 10/10

🚨 WOW! Artemis II pilot Victor Glover spreads the gospel after a safe return home from space This dude is a MASTERCLASS! "I wanted to thank God in public, and I want to thank God again, because even bigger than my challenge trying to describe what we went through, the gratitude of seeing what we saw, doing what we did, and being with who I was with — it's too big to just be in one body." 🙏🏻

🚨A ENTREVISTA DE DÉBORA RODRIGUES (a "Débora do Batom") na Revista Oeste é devastadora e REVOLTANTE! Deram a ela um cobertor ENCHARCADO DE URINA! "O riso foi tirado do meu filho" O momento que vivemos será lembrado como um dos mais COVARDES e CRUÉIS da história deste país!

On the helicopter leaving the ship right now. This planet is impossibly beautiful from every altitude I’ve seen it…surface to 250,000 miles

Every crewed mission to the Moon to date

Artemis II may have splashed down, but our photos and videos from the mission are still rolling in! Keep an eye on the latest: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

OH MY GOD WHAT A SHOT
