And splashdown! America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon and bringing them home safely. Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy did an outstanding job. These talented astronauts inspired the world and represented their space agencies and nations as humanity’s ambassadors to the stars. This was a test mission, the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, pushing farther into the unforgiving environment of space than ever before, and it carried real risk. They accepted that risk for all we stood to learn and for the exciting missions that follow, as we return to the lunar surface, build a Moon base, and prepare for what comes next. And they were not alone. The entire NASA workforce, our commercial and international partners, and the hopes and dreams of people all over the world were with them. The astronauts know it, and you should too. This mission would not have been possible without you. Congratulations. Artemis II, mission accomplished.

It's tough to leave a platform where you've spent years building relationships and growing an audience. That's why we created Bluesky, an open social network, that gives you freedom from platforms, so you'll never have to feel this way again. bsky.app/download

#Starliner landed today at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico at 12:01 a.m. ET on Sept. 7 (10:01 p.m. MT on Sept. 6). Teams on the ground welcomed the spacecraft and are now preparing to transport Starliner back to Florida for analysis and refurbishment. More: starlinerupdates.com/starliner-arri…

@AstroPeggy @Astro_Pam Having had the honor of training both of you for spaceflight, this was special to watch. I still tell my daughter about it, hoping she will follow in your footsteps.

This photo with @Astro_Pam is a special memory. Purely by coincidence, it was the first time NASA had two active female commanders in space at the same time. When I joined the astronaut office in 1996, women only made up about 20% of the workforce, so the odds of even flying with another female were small, much less having women commanding both the Shuttle and Station in concert. My hope is that in the future, events like this are so commonplace that no one bats an eye.

Number 40! Welcome, Lithuania, to the #Artemis Accords family! Excited to have your nation join us in advancing peaceful and sustainable exploration of outer space. Together, we'll reach for the stars and beyond! go.nasa.gov/3UH2eFS

Happy World Pilots' Day! As a former space shuttle pilot, instructor pilot, test pilot, and co-pilot, I’m incredibly grateful for the career that has opened the world and beyond for me. To the would-be aviators across planet Earth, dream big, fly high, and reach for the stars!

@Astro_TJ We could replicate this in your office!

Today’s Happy… because these two puppers know EXACTLY what they are doing, and they are having a BLAST!! Made me smile hugely!

Thrilling news! NASA and UAE's @MBRSpaceCentre are taking a giant leap forward together: MBRSC will contribute the Crew and Science Airlock to @NASA_Gateway, enhancing our objectives for responsible human exploration in space! This historic moment demonstrates international collaboration is driving the future of human space exploration. nasa.gov/news-release/n…

The Deep Space Network was a critical resource on #Artemis I, providing communication services to @NASA_Orion as it traveled around the Moon. Last week, I visited @NASA_JPL to thank the team for their hard work to keep Orion connected. Thank you @LaurieofMars for having us!

Congrats to Emily Nelson on her selection as @NASA's Chief Flight Director! I got to know Emily better during #Artemis I while she was acting in the role. She embodies what a @NASAFltDirector stands for - an excellent leader who is tough and competent. go.nasa.gov/3LvCbwW

@Astro_Alneyadi @MBRSpaceCentre @NASA_Johnson @NASA @Space_Station Looking forward to working with you on Friday.

Being chosen as the first Arab astronaut to undertake a spacewalk alongside NASA astronaut Stephen Bowen is a great honour and responsibility. I am eagerly awaiting this historic moment, for which I have trained extensively at the Johnson Space Center. I am looking forward to represent my country and continue the exceptional journey started by generations of astronauts before me.

Can't wait to support your historic @Space_Station EVA from MCC-H, @Astro_Alneyadi !!

Our guests tonight are out of this world! 🌍 #Colbert #Artemis

Only 2 days left until you meet the four astronauts who will fly around the Moon on #Artemis II. Excited to see this historic crew unveiled on Monday, April 3. Mark your calendars and tune in: go.nasa.gov/3M7tEC8

Big news - Dan Hartman (left), Gateway’s first program manager, is retiring after 29 years at @NASA. Dr. Jon B. Olansen, Gateway’s HALO project manager, will become Gateway’s new program manager. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3lLDhM0

It has been a tremendous joy working with Dan over the past few years laying the foundational blocks of our Gateway Program. It was always reassuring to know our Safety and Mission Assurance team had his full support. Best of luck Dan! Ad Astra!

@hunt_harriet How many more left to go?

@tqdays @AerospaceEmma @NASA_Gateway Both

@jnmatthew @AerospaceEmma @NASA_Gateway The all day budget meeting or the cookies?

All day budget meeting for @NASA_Gateway - our team member Laurie (with an idea from @tqdays) made “Moon Money” cookies!
