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.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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
