“You can see the surface of the Moon…we just went sci-fi.”

On flight day seven, images from our @NASAArtemis II crew amazed, turning science fiction to reality. From the lunar far side to a solar eclipse from the Moon, the views are EVERYTHING. No pressure to pick a favorite.

OTD: #StarTrek Generations premiered, bringing two of Trek's most celebrated captains together as Picard and Kirk teamed up to stop Dr. Soran from destroying an entire star system. Siskel gave it a thumbs up, Ebert gave it thumbs down; what did you think?

This was a great collaborative project from two years ago!

REMINDER --

Teases are NOT just something you say.

They're supposed to give the viewer a reason to keep watching.

When you write them, ask yourself: Would this make me want to watch?

If the answer is no, you're just talking.
