@socialwriter 🤣

@NASA_Nerd Is this the #ballroom everybody is talking about? 🤔😅

Man, I sure hope open concept is still a thing 😉

Kicking off the Victoria Day long weekend with the Northern Lights. The Auroras made a subtle and brief return to southern Ontario last night around 11:30pm. #AuroraBorealis

A quick in and out work trip to Chicago!

Let's give 'em a hand! 🦾 25 years ago on April 22, 2001, STS-100 astronauts Chris Hadfield and Scott Parazynski completed a 7-hour spacewalk, installing the International Space Station's robotic arm, Canadarm2! That day, Hadfield (center) became the first Canadian spacewalker.

@space_jim1 @charlesboyer @blueorigin @GregScott_photo @FarryFaz @SchilkeScott @stevenmadow @dwisecinema Great captures, Jim!

Starting to get back into photography, so I purchased a new camera last week. Well, to test it out I joined some friends (photographers) and shot the @blueorigin launch from Cherie Down Park. So, yes I shot a launch this morning. Thinking I need a longer lens for the next one!🤔

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Mission complete ❤️❤️❤️

That view! 😍 Earth is slowly growing larger as Integrity nears.

Artemis II astronauts have traveled 252,756 miles from Earth, flown around the Moon, and observed the lunar surface like never before. Now, they’re coming home. 🌎 Watch the crew splash down on Friday, April 10, around 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11). nasa.gov/ways-to-watch/

@NASA has just released some EXTRAORDINARY tracking footage from Artemis II's launch just one week ago. Mesmerizing exhaust flow interaction between all four RS-25's & twin SRB's.

I'm speechless!

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

@CAlexMasse Seriously, I feel the same. I’ve been glued to the tv all day. NASA couldn’t have picked a better crew to fly this mission.

@NASA_Nerd Kind of at a loss, really. Hard to imagine the experience.

Those last few minutes before LOS, compressed into 7 seconds.

We sent the best of us. Everyone has experienced loss. The crew sharing a moment this intimate, this real, gives us a chance to feel a raw connection to other humans across a great distance. They're off doing truly alien things in deep space, but I'll bet a lot of people have never felt closer to them. Go hug someone you love because the only universal truth is we never get enough time with them. And the next time you look up at the Moon, keep an eye out for Carroll

A new milestone for humankind: The crew of Artemis II are now the farthest any human has ever travelled, reaching a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth. This surpasses the previous record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by about 4,102 miles.

Artemis II - Some milestone figures for Monday's big day: Slightly before 2 p.m. Eastern, Integrity will surpass the Apollo 13 distance record for humans, which stands at 248,655 statute miles. Around 7:07 p.m. Eastern, they will reach the farthest distance from Earth at 252,760 miles — 4,105 miles farther than Apollo 13. youtube.com/watch?v=8n1GGe…
