@tman_adam @NASA @NASAArtemis NASA's jod is to do science and advance tech. So in that department, they are literally the best in the world.

@NASA @NASAArtemis Why is NASA the most advanced in aeronautics in the world? Are they simply the best, or are they only projected as the best due to Western publicity?

Jordan is the 63rd country to sign the @NASAArtemis Accords! 🇯🇴 Countries that join our Artemis Accords commit to a set of principles for peaceful, transparent, and responsible space exploration. These partnerships will enable us to build the future of space together. go.nasa.gov/4u0qXVG

@Kirkland856404 @farazamiruddin Nah, freedom is being able to choose your own transportation. If we supposedly are the greatest country in the world, it shouldn't be a stretch that we have reliable car, buses, and train networks.

@farazamiruddin Freedom is not having to be packed like a sardine into a public car and have to hear mentally ill people shout and make threats at you. Freedom is being able to listen to your own music and have space in your own car

Driving is the MOST government-dependent form of transportation. You’re using a state-issued license to operate a state-registered machine on 100% state-owned land, subsidized by taxpayers. Freedom is not needing a government permission slip & 40k machine to get around.

@TrackingTheSB Is B19 static fire next? Or is there something else after the igniter test?

The road is now open and the closures have shifted in status. Primary: Apr. 14 8:00 AM to Apr. 14 8:00 PM Backup: Apr. 15 8:00 AM to Apr. 15 8:00 PM

@NASASpaceflight @elysiasegal Yeah, just a few things... Nothing that important actually happened...

This Week In Spaceflight with Elysia Segal (@elysiasegal). A few things happened... youtube.com/watch?v=cMxr1n…

@IsabelleRLabs @NASASpaceflight Well to be fair. Canada really never had the political, industry or public motivation to pursue space. Meanwhile the US, Soviet Union and nowadays China has every reason to.

@NASASpaceflight Every component on B19 mocks Canada's strategic failure. I fear we surrendered advanced aerospace leadership without even resisting decline.

Starship Flight 12: Booster 19 is being lifted atop Pad 2's OLM. nsf.live/starbase

@SonoranAstro @TrackingTheSB Could it be a ship 39 static fire!?!?!?

@TrackingTheSB WHATS GOING TO MASSEYS

Two new road delays have been posted: Description: Production to Pad Date: April 10 10:00 PM to April 11 4:00 AM Description: Production to Masseys Date: April 10 10:00 PM to April 11 4:00 AM

@genus_art Right, from Artemis II.

The one on the left was taken in 1972 The one on the right was taken in 2026 As far as I know these are the only two full pictures taken of earth by a human being

* It's you! * Despite everything, it's still you

@explorermaddie @NASA_Johnson Your in luck. There is a Livestream showing exactly that, go to the NASA YouTube channel.

@NASA_Johnson There should be a live stream so we can see the astronauts right now and live tracking of the ship 😭

Lights, camera… lunar action. 📸🌕 For Artemis II, Orion will carry 31 cameras designed to capture the mission from every angle. From external cameras mounted on the solar arrays to internal cabin views documenting crew life, these imaging systems will record key moments like launch, solar array deployment, and the spacecraft’s distant journey around the Moon. A dedicated optical navigation camera will photograph Earth and the Moon to help Orion determine its position in deep space, while handheld Nikon Z9 cameras give the crew the ability to capture high‑resolution imagery through the windows.

@re_zero_global Im liking Subaru's new fit

The creditless opening video for Season 4 is now out! Opening theme: “Recollect” by Konomi Suzuki feat. Ashnikko! Check it out! 🎵 🔗 youtu.be/VDGG9zi53rQ #rezero

@ObriWanKanobri @notch Bro is so ignorant that you didn't even know they aren't doing a moon landing. That doesn't happen until Artemis IV. They can't "fake a moon landing" if they never even said they wanted to do a real one.

@notch it's so fitting as a truther knowing their faking another moon landing on april fools day lol.

April fools tomorrow, eh? Ok. Well, I'll make sure to act surprised by news of unusual events I suppose.

@Jacks0nPainter @WhiteHouse Yeah I don't get it. NASA already made like a million official renders and videos yet the Whitehouse didn't want to use one. They had to do AI instead.

@WhiteHouse The White House when they could use official renders for their social posts but they have to fill the AI slop quotas:

TOMORROW. 🚀🌑

@quikenlaws @SpacecoastPix @_jaykeegan_ @jdeshetler @NASASpaceflight But here's the difference. SpaceX is making a rocket compatible with tower 2. While NASA isn't going to even make a rocket compatible with mobile launcher 2.

@The_Aug_Man @SpacecoastPix @_jaykeegan_ @jdeshetler @NASASpaceflight If you want a Starship analogy, this is a bit like cancelling Pad 2 in late 2025 and instead starting to strip it for parts to keep fixing a barely-functional Pad 1.

ML-2: A stop work order has been issued for Mobile Launcher 2 and parts common to ML-1 have began being stripped from ML-2 for use as spares, per Shawn Quinn, Exploration Ground Systems Program Manager. @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/spacecoast

@SpacecoastPix @_jaykeegan_ @jdeshetler @NASASpaceflight How is it short-sighted? With the recent changes to SLS, they literally are never going to use ML-2. So they might as well strip it down for anything useful.

@_jaykeegan_ @jdeshetler @NASASpaceflight Very short-sighted. Almost criminally so.

@Erdayastronaut I'm reading these comments and a lot of people seem to be calling "Artemis II useless and a waste". You misunderstand, it's true the mission won't benefit us directly... But it's about all the journey and advances we make during the entire space program. This is just one step.

I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public has NO IDEA Artemis II is taking humans out to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE GOTTA GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!! THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!

@EirBalls @Erdayastronaut Right, if only the space program actually contributed to many of the conveniences that everybody enjoys today... Oh right, they do.

@Erdayastronaut Of all the things that will impact people’s lives now or at any stage in the future,this will impact them the least …..literally insignificant to about 8 billion people

@marty3dtw @Erdayastronaut Well, think about what the moon offers? It offers scientific gain, but that's not even the biggest thing. If we succeed with the moon, it opens up the rest of space and will cause a huge push in the space industry... and THAT will benefit the average person. Also helium-3 later

@Erdayastronaut So, they go a little bit further away than before. How does that matter? What does humanity gain? With SpaceX launching weekly, the luster of spending billions on a demo is lost.

@TorrWeb @Erdayastronaut It's such a shame that the space program isn't contributing to many of the conveniences that everybody enjoys today... If only that was true.... Oh wait.

@Erdayastronaut Tell me how a few adventurers flying near the Moon have anything to do with the average person who is busy trying to put a roof over their heads and food on the table. The answer is nothing, zero, zip.

@captkrahs @Erdayastronaut The public was arguably pretty damn excited (considering there was like, three TV channels back then). But yeah, today is simply just a different time. News and entertainment is fundamentallly different now.

@Erdayastronaut I think it’s because they’re only flying around the moon. How excited was the public for Apollo 8 or Apollo 10?

@psilynt @im_carl_ @Erdayastronaut What you said is already the exact plan. SoaceX and Blue Origin are required to do a unscrewed lunar landing, then they are allowed to do a lunar landing.

@im_carl_ @Erdayastronaut I think the next step should be to send an automated craft to land... and return from the surface of the moon WITH all the necessary life support to support a human. Checking to see that the Moon's gravity still works isn't impressive.

@EliPoven @logi_con @raddadwith2boys @NASAWebb @NASAHubble Fr, the book is awesome and the movie is just as good.

@logi_con @raddadwith2boys @The_Aug_Man @NASAWebb @NASAHubble I’ve heard really good things so I will add it to my list ✍️ ❤️

Amaze amaze amaze! Webb teamed up with @NASAHubble, observing the ringed planet in complementary wavelengths of light to give us a richer, more layered understanding of its atmosphere. go.nasa.gov/4lMn2c4
