This is one of my favorite episodes I’ve ever hosted! @Astro_Jenni and @Astro_AndreD are absolutely phenomenal people, and their work on this mission is simply invaluable. Make sure to give it a listen!

[Jessica Meir @Astro_Jessica]

Sneak peek at what it looks like to set up a new experiment on the @Space_Station! I installed hardware in the Microgravity Sciences Glovebox (MSG) for the Colloidal Solids experiment. This study will investigate the structure and dynamics of crystal, gel and glass phases during solidification of colloids (mixtures in which tiny particles of one substance are scattered throughout another, but that don’t dissolve or settle out, for example, milk, mayonnaise, and fog). 

Since gravitational forces often perturb these materials, we may observe differences in microgravity. This research could lead to the development of new materials for space exploration (substrates for plant growth, 3D printing, etc.), and may provide insight into protein crystallization, a critical process in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, to directly benefit human health back on Earth.

Expedition 75 will bring together three launches and three crews, including Crew-12, Crew-13, and my mission. These patches represent a much broader team effort across NASA and our international partners.

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

@astro_reid @NASA @Astro_Christina Amazing!

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

There are no words.

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

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

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

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!

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

[Dr. Jenni Gibbons @Astro_Jenni]

We flew in to Cape Canaveral today, preparing for our next opportunity to launch Artemis II. Let’s go 🚀

Nous sommes arrivés à Cap Canaveral aujourd’hui, nous préparant à la prochaine opportunité de lancement d’Artemis II. C’est parti! 🚀

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

The Artemis II zero gravity indicator “Rise” was having a main character moment as the Artemis II astronauts flew to @NASAKennedy today to prepare for launch.

[NASA's Johnson Space Center @NASAJohnson]

A special sendoff for the @NASAArtemis II crew! 🚀

This morning, Johnson Space Center employees lined the streets outside Ellington Field to cheer on the crew and their backups as they arrived for their T-38 flights to @NASAKennedy. The Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft await them on Launch Pad 39B, with liftoff targeted for no earlier than April 1.

[NASA Marshall @NASA_Marshall]

#OTD in 2001, our team at #NASAMarshall began 24/7 support for science on the @Space_Station. This partnership has resulted in over 4,000 different scientific investigations and breakthroughs!

Time for a mid-week sweet treat! 🍬

NASA astronauts Jack Hathaway & @Astro_ChrisW are answering students' questions live from the @Space_Station.

Does candy taste sweet in space? What's your favorite meal on station?

[Zena Cardman @zenanaut]

The @Space_Station rarely makes big changes to its orientation, but we were lucky to experience such maneuvers (flipping around to fly butt-first, then flipping back again) before and after each @spacex CRS-33 reboost. This 60x speed timelapse was one of my favorites since it captures a little of everything - sunset, lightning storms, air glow, moon glint, stars, and sunrise - as we did one (actually very slow) orbital cartwheel from Atlantic to Pacific.

[Andre Douglas @Astro_AndreD]

@zenanaut @Space_Station @SpaceX This is 🔥. Thanks for sharing!

[Andre Douglas @Astro_AndreD]

@Astro_ChrisW Awesome shot Chris!

[Dr. Jenni Gibbons @Astro_Jenni]

I arrived yesterday at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral to support preparations to be completed before the launch of Artemis II. Hope you like the view as much as I do 🚀
