WE'RE LAUNCHING ASTRONAUTS TO THE MOON TOMORROW 🚀🌕

[John Kraus @johnkrausphotos]

The Artemis II crew arrived at Kennedy Space Center in Florida yesterday ahead of their launch around the Moon, scheduled for no earlier than the evening of April 1. It feels surreal to be so close!

In just a few days, we'll be sending humans on a flight around the Moon. Have you watched our documentary series on the mission?

Absolutely surreal footage of Saturn rising from behind the Moon. 🪐🌑

The scale of space is both terrifying and beautiful.

New year, new lunar mission!

10 @NASA science payloads launched to the Moon aboard a @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of @fireflyspace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1.

On March 2, it will land on the lunar surface and help us understand the Moon’s environment for future missions.

At least there will be no daylight saving time on the Moon. 2 earth weeks light and 2 earth weeks dark. #DaylightSaving

Last night I captured an incredibly difficult shot: ISS transiting the moon, while gently kissing Tycho crater as it flies by at 5 miles per second. That crater is 53 miles wide, so while the station almost looks like it's orbiting the moon it's actually 1000x closer to us.
