Godspeed, @astro_reid, @AstroVicGlover, @Astro_Christina, and @Astro_Jeremy! 🚀 Wishing you a safe and successful mission through every phase. I hope your safe return was the priority in every decision. It’s a dream for so many to see humans venture this far, and I‘m in awe of your courage. Taking this bold step for sure takes courage, especially on a vehicle with so few flights to date.

First FSD Supervised drives in the Netherlands

My first FSD ride in NL. Unbelievably swift and safe. @SawyerMerritt @wholemars .@Kees: thank you guys for posting these videos yourselves and reposting from others. For all these years. With all your provided context it felt totally normal. Thanks!!!!

Zoom out, everything is temporary.

@astro_reid @NASA Welcome back, Reid - Rise made it home with you, unlike poor Wilson in Cast Away. Much better ending!

PS- it’s hard not to love this little guy. I cant let Rise out of my sight…currently tethered to my water bottle.

🇺🇸🇺🇸 Welcome home! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Welcome back to Mother Earth, Artemis II crew. Congrats to all (and let’s get back)!

Welcome back to planet Earth!

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.

@NASA Welcome home to planet Earth 🌍, @astro_reid, @AstroVicGlover, @Astro_Christina, @Astro_Jeremy! What a journey to follow 🌑

LIVE: They are coming home. Watch as the Artemis II crew returns to Earth, splashing down at around 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11). twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

To reenter at 34,800 feet per second … 31 times the speed of sound 😮

👍

Excited! 🌑

De toekomst van mobiliteit is aangebroken FSD Supervised has been approved in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 & will begin rolling out in the country shortly!  Trained on billions of kilometers of real-world driving data, it can drive you almost anywhere under your supervision – from residential roads to city streets & highways No other vehicle can do this.  We're excited to bring FSD Supervised to more European countries soon

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

Earthset. The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

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.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

@sciencegirl Gimmicky. One could just take a drone that keeps contact to the wall with an extra wheel. What problem will this solve?

Amazing project from ETH Zürich! This robot combines wheels with tilting propellers that push it against a wall while also generating upward force, allowing it to climb vertically with impressive agility. 📹 mauricio.frizzarin
