Liftoff! #Apollo11 lifted off July 16, 1969, at 9:32 am EDT, setting off on its history-making journey to land humans on the Moon. This landmark mission inspired people around the world as we witnessed the accomplishment of a seemingly impossible task. ▶️ apolloinrealtime.org/11/

The @NASA_Orion spacecraft, built by our engineers, has been undergoing final rounds of testing and assembly at @NASAKennedy, to qualify it to safely fly @NASAArtemis II astronauts @astro_reid, @astrovicglover, @astro_christina and @astro_jeremy to the Moon! 🌖

What a sight!🚀 The excitement is building as @NASA and Boeing, the core stage lead contractor, prepare the #Artemis II core stage for its upcoming move to @NASAKennedy. Watch as technicians prepare the rocket stage for its journey to Cape Canaveral>>go.nasa.gov/3W0eUsb

Under (no) pressure 🎶 Today at Kennedy, the @NASA_Orion spacecraft was lowered by crane into the altitude chamber in preparation for upcoming vacuum testing to simulate the harsh environment of space onto the vehicle. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3VIx2GS

Ever wondered what Gateway's mass will be once fully assembled? 🤔 The next-gen space station will have a mass of 63 metric tons (63,000 kg). That's the equivalent of about 100 cows, 10 elephants, or 10 @NASAWebb telescopes! 🐮🐘🔭 go.nasa.gov/45yW3Zy

In 1968, during Apollo 8, Bill Anders offered to humanity among the deepest of gifts an astronaut can give. He traveled to the threshold of the Moon and helped all of us see something else: ourselves. He embodied the lessons and the purpose of exploration. We will miss him.

Fueling complete ⛽ Last week, teams @NASAKennedy successfully flowed liquid hydrogen and oxygen onto the mobile launcher at Launch Complex 39B to prove both tanks can support the @NASAArtemis II mission. Next, teams will test an additional hydrogen tank used to minimize time between launch attempts during crewed Artemis missions.

🌕 @NASA has contracted SpaceX and Blue Origin to provide landing systems to take astronauts to the Moon’s surface. The agency has also asked the two companies to develop cargo versions of their landers to be in use NET the #Artemis VII mission. MORE 👇 go.nasa.gov/49SaAzU

"I can confidently say that we have been able to do a lot of testing to say that we are ready [for a mission]" - Liliana Villarreal Artemis-II Landing And Recovery Director" My full interview with Liliana will be out later this week!

I'm looking forward to my upcoming interview with Liliana Villarreal, the Artemis II Landing and Recovery Director. If there are any questions you would like me to ask her, put them in the comments and I'll try my best to include them all.
