One last look at Earth before we reach the Moon.
This view of the Earth was captured on April 5, the fourth day of the Artemis II mission, from inside the Orion spacecraft. The four astronauts will reach their closest approach of the Moon tomorrow, April 6.
LIFTOFF OF ARTEMIS II
Carrying the hopes and dreams of millions as four of humanity’s bravest ride a great pillar of fire destined for the Moon, carrying the pride of nations.

BREAKING: The U.S. Senate has just officially confirmed Jared Isaacman as the new head of NASA. At just 42 years old, he now becomes the youngest person in history to lead the agency.
Congrats @rookisaacman! To the Moon and Mars!🚀
Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive.
This might be the first photo of it's kind in existence. See a video of this moment in the reply 👇
Thank you, Mr. President @POTUS, for this opportunity. It will be an honor to serve my country under your leadership. I am also very grateful to @SecDuffy, who skillfully oversees @NASA alongside his many other responsibilities.
The support from the space-loving community has been overwhelming. I am not sure how I earned the trust of so many, but I will do everything I can to live up to those expectations.
To the innovators building the orbital economy, to the scientists pursuing breakthrough discoveries and to dreamers across the world eager for a return to the Moon and the grand journey beyond--these are the most exciting times since the dawn of the space age-- and I truly believe the future we have all been waiting for will soon become reality.
And to the best and brightest at NASA, and to all the commercial and international partners, we have an extraordinary responsibility--but the clock is running. The journey is never easy, but it is time to inspire the world once again to achieve the near-impossible--to undertake and accomplish big, bold endeavors in space...and when we do, we will make life better here at home and challenge the next generation to go even further.
NASA will never be a caretaker of history--but will forever make history.
Godspeed, President Donald J. Trump, and Godspeed NASA, as America leads the greatest adventure in human history 🇺🇸
Falling yields. Fed cutting rates. $IWM at record highs. Entering most bullish seasonal period. Neutron inaugural launch incoming. You are NOT bullish enough. $RKLB
In today’s UAP hearing, we revealed new military surveillance video showing a UAP splitting a Hellfire missile in mid-air.
Not a single witness was aware of any U.S. military technology capable of such a feat.
Every witness described the footage as extremely “scary”.
I don’t know why, but the best days as a $RKLB investor are THESE
When people start posting charts, drawing bearish lines, panicking and 💩 themselves
These days shake out the weak hands.
Then, when waters calm, we see +10%, +20%
Don’t forget: $16 just months ago. 🚀
