LIVE: Agency leaders answer media questions and provide updates on our Artemis II mission around the Moon. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Brushing up on procedures, @Astro_Jenni is minutes away from heading to the rocket to perform final checks…and install our little buddy #Rise in the spacecraft.

Nothing but gratitude for the men and women of this great nation. It is time to fly.

Clock is running.

“Dad, we can’t leave the rocket without a .5 together!!” I love these two ladies, and I’m boarding that rocket a very proud father.

Thank you, Jessica…and thanks for the wonderful note you left my crew on the dry erase board in crew quarters. Talk soon! ❤️

The only thing in my job I enjoy more than listening to Victor, Christina, and Jeremy’s amazing discussions is training to fly a spaceship with them. And soon, we GO! m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii_tmJ…

Fist bump, Rise! Very emotional moment zipping up Rise, knowing we are bringing 5,647,889 names with us on this journey around the Moon. For all!   People from around the world submitted their names through the Send Your Name with Artemis campaign. These names were downloaded onto an SD card that is safely stored inside "Rise," the zero gravity indicator designed by 2nd grader Lucas Ye from California. Thanks for coming along, everyone!

"This is the furthest that humans will be traveling in some 60 years in space." The Artemis II crew has arrived in Cape Canaveral, Florida, ahead of their 10-day space mission, set to launch on April 1. abcnewslive.visitlink.me/XaOY_4

🌍🌖 Découvrez « Rise », le mascotte lunaire de la mission Artemis II ! L’indicateur de pesanteur zéro qui accompagnera l’équipage d’Artemis II a été choisi parmi des milliers de propositions venues de plus de 50 pays. Il s’appelle « Rise » et a été conçu par Lucas Ye (de Mountain View, en Californie). 🔹 Son design est directement inspiré de l’iconique photo « Earthrise » prise par l’équipage d’Apollo 8 en 1968 : on y voit la Terre se levant au-dessus de l’horizon lunaire. « Rise » représente une lune ronde portant une casquette de baseball aux motifs de la Terre. 🔹 Ce petit objet servira de repère visuel : lorsqu’il flottera librement dans la capsule Orion, l’équipage saura qu’il a atteint l’espace. 🔹 La peluche devait respecter des critères stricts, avec une taille et une masse définies par avance. La NASA fabrique la version finale, en utilisant des matériaux ignifugés certifiés pour l’espace afin de respecter les normes de sécurité d’Artemis II. 👉 Pour rappel, la mission Artemis I avait emporté une peluche de Snoopy comme indicateur.

A beautiful hot blue sky day at KSC for the arrival of #NASA #ArtemisII crew moon mission in the T-38 Talons! #WeAreGoing 🚀🇺🇲🇨🇦🇺🇲🚀

I love post-apocalyptic thrillers and I have to say…the entrance to our crew quarantine facility sets the right tone

@TheMindIced Call it a draw?

Would you all kill me if I said SLS is better in terms of aesthetics than Starship block 3

@Stuck4ger I drove halfway across the country with Carroll…snuck onto the airfield and slept in the back of an unlocked Huey in a hangar…to watch his first flight above the Kármán line in 2004. Godspeed, Mike. A true hero.

So sad to hear of the passing of Mike Melville, SpaceShipOne test pilot, commercial astronaut #1, and all around great human. He checked me out in the Proteus.

Every astronaut brings a different story to the mission, usually led by curiosity, service, and a willingness to chase big dreams. @astro_reid is a great example of that path. Proud to see Americans like him carrying exploration forward.🇺🇸

Watching from Launch Control as @TaylorHose and his close out crew drive toward a fully loaded rocket.

@USAspaceenjoyer Don’t tempt me.

A 360° ROLL????

@astro_Pettit You are amazing.

Orbital star trails showing satellites flashing white marks into the time history of arcing stars. When viewed up close, they remind me of scratches on a vinyl record!
