Update: We'll be extending our livestream coverage tonight to have a little more time with the Artemis II crew.

While the Artemis II crew are experiencing their own personal solar eclipse, Mission Control will temporarily lose communications with the capsule. This is planned and expected. We anticipate regaining communications in about 30 minutes.

Artemis II has reached its maximum distance from Earth. On the far side of the Moon, 252,756 miles away, Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy have now traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history and now begin their journey home. Before they left, they said they hoped this mission would be forgotten, but it will be remembered as the moment people started to believe that America can once again do the near-impossible and change the world. Congratulations to this incredible crew and the entire NASA team, our international and commercial partners, but this mission isn’t over until they’re under safe parachutes, splashing down into the Pacific.

LIVE: Watch with us as the Artemis II astronauts make their closest approach to the Moon, traveling farther from Earth than ever before. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Happy Easter from all of us at Stellar East African Community✨ While we celebrate new beginnings, we're reminded that's exactly what we're building every day. New developers. New tools. New financial infrastructure for Africa. To every builder in our community: may this season bring you renewed energy, fresh ideas, and the courage to keep shipping. Wishing you and yours a joyful Easter #HappyEaster #StellarEastAfrica #Web3Africa #BuildonStellar

Big news out of East Africa. 4 projects from our community have been selected for the Stellar Instawards each receiving $5,000 to support continued development and prepare for the SCF @BuildOnStellar @ChamaTrust_ @ide_stellar @Zyra_pays @matxchange Four teams. Four different problems. One shared conviction that blockchain infrastructure built from inside East Africa hits differently. This isn't just a funding milestone. It's proof that when you give African developers the right environment, tools, and support, they build things worth backing. We're just getting started. More builders. More projects. More proof. Congratulations to all four teams. 🔥

@0xkaankacar @BuildOnStellar This sounds awesome 👌

@StellarEastAfri Here we go

This week, we build. Most blockchains consume as much energy as entire cities just to run. Stellar is certified carbon neutral. One transaction uses a fraction of the energy of a single Google search. Fast. Cheap. Clean. Built for people. Every week is a new launchpad. Are you on it? #StellarEastAfrica #Web3Africa #BuildOnStellar
