@LeahCheshier Great job hosting today!

We just flew 4 astronauts around the Moon for the first time in over 50 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@LeahCheshier Happy Moon Day!! So stinkin' excited for the #ArtemisII crew -- and for all of us! 🚀👨‍🚀😎👍

Which way to the Moon? This interactive tool lets you follow Artemis’s journey – and even scroll forward and backward in time! Follow along with Eyes on the Solar System: eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar-sys…

The Artemis II crew has successfully completed the proximity operations demonstration! This test allows the astronauts to practice piloting Orion similarly to how they would if they were docking with another spacecraft — an important early test objective for the mission.

The Orion spacecraft successfully separated from the upper stage of the rocket, and the "proximity operations" test is underway. The Artemis II astronauts are manually piloting Orion similarly to how they would if they were docking with another spacecraft.

Signal acquired! 📡 Engineers at @NASAJPL have confirmed that the Orion spacecraft is communicating with the Deep Space Network. For the first time in over 50 years, we’re receiving a signal from a spacecraft carrying humans toward the Moon.

Tough and competent. 💪 The flight control team in Artemis Mission Control in Houston is on console and ready to command Orion and SLS after liftoff and all the way through splashdown, monitoring every system and every milestone to keep the crew safe. @NASAArtemis II is sending @NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Hammock Koch, and Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen around the Moon to test Orion in deep space and pave the way for future lunar missions.

LIVE: Artemis leaders are discussing the successful launch of NASA's Artemis II mission and the next steps for the astronauts headed on their journey around the Moon. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

@LeahCheshier Getting ready for 10 days of AWESOMENESS!! 🚀👍😎

If you turn off Artemis II coverage after launch, you’re missing the mission!! Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Go NASA, go Orion, go Christina, Reid, Victor, and Jeremy!!!

The Moon, revealed through its geology. 🌗 Explore the Unified Geologic Map of the Moon! Created by @usgs_astrogeo, in collaboration with @nasa and other partners, this first-ever comprehensive map reveals the Moon’s entire surface geology, combining Apollo-era data with recent satellite missions. It not only shows the 4.5-billion-year history of our lunar neighbor, but also serves as a key tool for future human missions and an invaluable resource for scientists, educators, and space enthusiasts.

If schedule holds, these 3 giant rockets will launch in the next 3 weeks. From left to right: New Glenn - satellite launch now, planned for the Moon Starship - test flight 12 now, planned for the Moon Artemis - to the Moon and back with 4 crew aboard Pushing the very edge of our capability as we learn how to more safely & cheaply reach space, to explore all that exists beyond. @nasa @SpaceX @blueorigin

@VAXHeadroom @DJSnM Very cool! 🖖🚀😎

Got to meet THIS GUY!! #FlySafe

#MeteorSighting: Eyewitnesses in Texas observed a bright fireball today, March 21, at 4:40 p.m. CDT. Current data indicates that the meteor became visible at 49 miles above Stagecoach, northwest of Houston. It moved southeast at 35,000 mph, breaking apart 29 miles above Bammel, just west of Cypress Station. The fragmentation of the meteor - which weighed about a ton with a diameter of 3 feet - created a pressure wave that caused booms heard by some in the area. Doppler weather radar also showed meteorites produced between Willowbrook and Northgate Crossing. 🔗 go.nasa.gov/47c9wbR Eyewitness accounts supplied by the American Meteor Society

@Cosmic_Carol You're coming in 5x5! Dropping in on this platform from time to time to see what's going on. Also making trips to Huntsville when I can to check on the new rocket. 🙂 Hope you are well!

Hello. Is this thing on? Just saying hi. Miss my space friends but I think I’m completely done with this platform. Enjoying my librarian life again immensely! Hope you’re all ok

About eight minutes after Artemis II lifts off, the Orion spacecraft and the astronauts aboard will be in space. But what happens after that? Check out the Artemis II daily agenda to learn about the activities of the 10-day lunar mission: go.nasa.gov/3NBxpmr

@GeoScarborough Happy Birthday, George!! 🎂

I had a great 66th birthday celebration in PCB, FL yesterday! Thanks to Sara’s brother & sister-in-law, Kevin & Mary for letting the fam stay st their beautiful beach house & for an amazing dinner at Grand Marlin! 2 cakes to enjoy too, including one Sara’s delish ones!!
