Happy 25th Birthday to our 2021 champion, @OscarPiastri 🏆
A third-place finish in the opening Sprint Race of the weekend was enough to see the young Aussie make it back-to-back #RoadToF1 titles and take a massive leap towards his dream 🙌
#F2
We have arrived! 🌕
@NASA’s Orion spacecraft for Artemis II has officially entered the lunar sphere of influence. Soon, the astronauts onboard will begin their lunar flyby.
@YouTube has deleted #Belarus’ largest media channels, arbitrarily blocking millions of viewers from accessing legitimate official content, yet international "freedom of speech" watchdogs remain silent. 🤐
This is a classic example of Western double standards. Belarus reserves the right to respond to this blatant violation of international law and media freedom.
One lunar flyby. Four astronauts. 10 days in space. Lots of questions!
Get mission details and answers to your most pressing questions like what the astronauts are eating, what they will see during the flyby, and how you can follow along.

“On the Moon is a photo of my family. I pray it reminds you that we and America and all of the world are cheering you on.”
Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke recorded a message for the Artemis II crew. Fitting that they hear his words as they close in on their lunar destination.
