Earthshine. Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch captured this video of Earth outside the windows of the Orion spacecraft during the second flight day of the mission. Orion was roughly 33,800 miles (54,500 km) away from Earth when @Astro_Christina took this video.

@rebeccaperrotto @whoismpn @glennbeck @elonmusk Did her left side become paralyzed the last time she had cancer?

@whoismpn @glennbeck @elonmusk I transcribed fo Liv. She was left handed and her left side became paralyzed from the tumors and she couldn’t write anymore.

At 15 years old, Liv Perrotto’s biggest dream was to meet @elonmusk. She had even written out a list of questions to ask him. Her mother @rebeccaperrotto told me that just days before she passed away from cancer, she had a chance to speak with Elon, but she was too tired and asked him to call later. The questions still sit on her nightstand, unanswered. Liv's mother shared them with me in hopes that Elon would change that today. 1) Are you going to make your own phone? 2) Are you expanding the Tesla Diner to new areas? 3) Will there be any new games with any upcoming Tesla updates? 4) What is your favorite anime? 5) Have you ever been to Japan? What was your favorite place/thing there? 6) Do you know who Hatsune Miku is? 7) Was Ani inspired from Misa from Death Note? 8) Can you make Asteroid (the Shiba Inu zero-g indicator she designed for the Polaris Dawn mission) the mascot for SpaceX?

@NASAAdmin I thought about this, NASA should configure ML-2 to support the standardized version of SLS.

@_MaxQ_ @NASASpaceflight Were the slide wire baskets released during launch? If so why?

What an insane week.

@GaryleeGray @Ellieinspace Same

@Ellieinspace I asked him this when he was sworn in on X and never got a reply.

did I hear that correctly? NASA might reboost Hubble after all?!

@rebeccaperrotto @Chesschick01 I’ve gotten a headache when I was flying, worst thing ever, I wanted to cry, I may have. Anything like that when flying is the worse.

@Chesschick01 Abby never complains but I could tell she was in pain. I felt helpless because there was nothing I could do to help her.

How are we going to encourage young men and women to have children if we complain about them out in public? Kids should be welcome everywhere. Those beautiful cries are the next generation we are fighting for. That being said I recently ruptured my eardrum on a flight home. It hurt so bad I wanted to cry. This happens to babies too.

@NASAAdmin Can you put telemetry on screen for @nasa missions, like @SpaceX does?

@rebeccaperrotto @Erdayastronaut Over to Texas to see Starship launch.

@Erdayastronaut The question is...do we fly to FL in hopes to see Artemis, then over to TX to see Starship.....??

BOOKMARK THIS!!! These are your launch window opportunities for April, including the new April 2nd window!!!

@LisaAtThePort @rebeccaperrotto Yes, she did and I did the same as Liv

@heather01149243 @rebeccaperrotto If I behaved like the bullies it would have hurt my parents. But that wasn’t the kind of kid I was. I stood up for kids like Liv. She had every right to stand up for herself.

Our daughters, Liv and Abby, both endured bullying at their private Christian school despite the high tuition we paid every month for what we thought would be a safe, values-driven environment. Liv lost her hair during her cancer treatments, and classmates relentlessly mocked and tormented her for it. Abby, meanwhile, faced cruel taunts simply for having a sister who was sick. The girls in her class made fun of her for something completely out of her control. The girls reported the harassment to teachers and the principal multiple times. I stepped in too, raising the issue directly with the school. When the bullying against Liv turned physical, I even called the police. Still, nothing meaningful was done to protect them. We eventually had no choice but to pull both girls out of that school. On Liv's final day there, during the school's carnival event, she decided she'd had enough. She took matters into her own hands and threw a blue slushy right in her main bully's face. When the school called me about the incident, I didn't hesitate. I told Liv over the phone, "I'm proud of you. I'll be right there to pick you up." No child should ever have to fight their own battles like that especially not while already battling something as devastating as cancer. But in that moment, I was fiercely proud of her courage and her refusal to stay silent. I applaud this father for teaching his daughter a lesson....

@LisaAtThePort @rebeccaperrotto About if you did what Liv did, or did what the bullies did?

@rebeccaperrotto @heather01149243 It would have broken my Mom’s heart if I had behaved that way. I could hear my Dad calling me by my entire name and ask if I had lost my mind. And I would have been so sad knowing I disappointed them. And all my siblings were the same.

@rebeccaperrotto Exactly

@heather01149243 I'm sure it's no different in public school. I don't necessarily blame the children because it's learned behavior. It's the parents that lack the ability to teach their children right from wrong.

@astro_reid When will you post about how you will post updates during Artemis 2?

@rebeccaperrotto I know you only know me through X, this is my mom’s account, my real name is Ryder Bruen, I’ve messaged you on Facebook before. As a runner and someone with hydrocephalus, even though it will only stop me from running temporarily it still stinks that it stopped Liv from running.

@heather01149243 She stopped running before her cancer came back the second time. But after it came back we still got out for walks as much as she could.

My sweet Liv, 11 years ago! 💕 I remember this day perfectly. We were late and almost missed the race. We ran to the gate and all the kids were already running and she just took off. She was my little running buddy until she got sick.

@rebeccaperrotto In the middle being the second time she got cancer.

@heather01149243 She stopped running with me somewhere in the middle. It just got too hard for her.

@rebeccaperrotto How far was it? Correct me if I’m wrong, but Liv was 4 years old for that race?

@rebeccaperrotto Will Liv get a head stone?

One month without you. 💔

@rebeccaperrotto @rookisaacman Happy birthday @rookisaacman

Happy Birthday Jared!! Liv would be sending you the biggest hug today! ❤️ @rookisaacman

@LeahCheshier @rookisaacman @NASAAdmin

I am LOVING seeing Samantha Cristoforetti in the Winter Olympics opening ceremony! We absolutely must have our NASA astronauts in LA 2028 🇺🇸🚀
