Ron Rosano, #Galactic04 Astronaut

Bathed in Earthlight above the thin blue line. Feeling a very direct sense of the interdependency and interconnectedness of everything living in that astonishingly thin atmosphere. #OverviewEffect @virgingalactic #Galactic04 w/ @namirasalim & @trevorbmbagency

Bold, daring and audacious endevours are typically called "Moonshots". @NASA and the @NASAArtemis crew are making one of those happen right now. youtube.com/watch?v=6RwfNB…

@NASA Once you're in space, borders vanish.

Even in darkness, we glow. In this image of Earth taken by the Artemis II crew, we can see the electric lights of human activity. In the lower right, sunlight illuminates the limb of the planet.

@NASA Once you're in space, borders vanish.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Good morning, world! 🌎 We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

The @NASA @NASAArtemis rocket is fueled, <5 hours to launch!!! 🚀🌔🌘🚀 Humans headed to THE MOON!! youtube.com/watch?v=Tf_UjB…

That's a whole lot of lucky stars!

Our CEO, Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi, has a new book dropping in just over a month and you can pre-order it today!📖 "Why Do We Exist?: The Nine Realms of the Universe That Make You Possible" hits shelves on April 21 and takes us on a thoughtful journey examining big questions of...

@johnkrausphotos That’s a win!

Artemis II will now fly with a Nikon Z9 in addition to two previously-planned Nikon D5s!

@milesobrien Many parties crossed the Atlantic non-stop before Lindberg; the Orteig Prize was for New York to Paris (or Paris to NY), non-stop, and didn't require being solo. Ireland to Newfoundland is about half the NYC-Paris distance.

Two weeks before Lindbergh, two French aviators may have already crossed the Atlantic. Listen now. #WhiteBird #AviationHistory #MilesAhead The White Bird Mystery Deepens, by @milesobrien open.substack.com/pub/milesobrie…

@Moonpans @elonmusk Well done, love it!! Full details in the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal here: apollojournals.org/alsj/a15/a15.t…

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

Another excellent flight, @blueorigin, congrats to you and all the crew of #NS-38! Y'all almost had a perfect straight there, astro last names beginning DEFGH, + Laura 🚀🚀🌎🌎 Fab to join you at LS1, thx and looking hugely forward to flying with you!!

Excellent visualization!

.@NASA #Astronaut record holders: nasa.gov/international-… 8 with over 250 days on a single mission, 7 with over 500 days in space total.

SPECTACULAR streak through the night sky near San Francisco, as @SpaceX #Dragon re-enters past colorful Orion!

So if you're in California, the reentry of Crew 11's dragon spacecraft should be visible just after 12:30am tonight, look west and it'll appear as a bright, slow moving meteor. If you're in SoCal you might even hear the sonic boom.

@ReutersScience Wonder if they would have made the same decision if the crew were just one month into their mission...

WATCH: NASA is considering a rare early return of its crew from the International Space Station over an unspecified medical issue involving one of the astronauts. NASA canceled a planned spacewalk scheduled for January 8, the agency said reut.rs/3LrcQbd

@KristinFisher @NASAAdmin Wonder if they would have made the same decision if the crew was finishing their first month? Nice to see you get the first call out there, @KristinFisher!

For the first time in the International Space Station’s 27-year history, NASA is sending a crew home early due to an astronaut experiencing a “serious medical condition” @NASAAdmin stresses the astronaut is stable & the issue is unrelated to yesterday’s spacewalk preparations

@cbs_spacenews Would have loved to ask if they would have made the same decision if the crew was finishing their first month.

Crew 11: Four space station fliers have been ordered to cut their mission short and return to Earth ahead of schedule because of a medical issue affecting an unidentified crew member that developed Wednesday during preparations for a spacewalk
