Good morning, world! 🌎
We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
@eliwhtney17@blakestbanter Here is my thinking. I’m a big boy and shit like this gets me excited. But with the 9-9-9, won’t the beer get warm and nasty in the later innings? I’d rather see it where it’s served to you in three inning spurts so that the dog and beer is close to fresh as possible.
New Foods for #Rockies fans at Coors Field:
9/9/9 Challenge (Section 139)- 9 slider hot dogs, 9 flights of beer (4 oz. each)
Glizilla (Section 157)- 1 pound, 23-inch all beef hit dog on a 19-inch sub roll.

@cyberv0y4ger You never need a super fancy lens to see it or capture. I used my phone camera for a video of art 1 while using my mark 1 eyeballs to remember the experience that I may never get to go see in person again.
@RACH_TOS@AltitudeTV these guys are gonna get outta hand with out your heavy hand putting them into place were in for a crazyyyyyy run without you.... CONGRATS and get some good rest
Working my final game tonight before baby arrives! Thank you all for the kind words and support. I’m so excited to meet this little guy, and can’t wait to introduce him to hockey someday.
Many thanks to my @AltitudeTV crew for highlighting these special moments for me. ❤️
Spotted something strange next to SLS in my footage. It's visible in two different telescopes and cameras that I had tracking the vehicle. It appeared to move roughly with the rocket as the telescope vibrated a bit during tracking, so it's not a hot pixel. Needs more analysis...

Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.
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…
