I flew a plane today and it was probably the coolest thing I've ever done

Introducing Artemis III.

Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown.

In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.

[NASA @NASA]

Introducing your Artemis III crew: NASA astronauts @AstroKomrade, @Astro_AndreD, and Frank Rubio and @ESA astronaut @Astro_Luca.

Why do people think that I’m you? Because we’re the same person.

Pretty crazy draft night. Didn’t see this coming, thank you.

BOOSTER TOUCHDOWN! “Never Tell Me The Odds” has done it again!

Some video of our successful 19 second hot fire today.

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.

[NASA @NASA]

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.

Nominal translunar injection burn complete. The Artemis II crew is officially on the way to the Moon.

America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon. This time, farther than ever before.

[Barstool Sports @barstoolsports]

Dudes only want one thing and it’s to go back to the fricken moon

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

America’s next leap is underway..
Godspeed Artemis II 🇺🇸

[NASA @NASA]

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.

[NASA @NASA]

The weather's looking good for tomorrow's Artemis II launch, and our teams are getting the rocket ready for liftoff!

To build a sustained human presence on the Moon, we are building @NASAMoonBase, prioritizing surface operations and scalable infrastructure. 

- Frequent robotic landings and mobility testing including MoonFall drones 
- Starting in 2027 nearly monthly cadence of equipment and rovers with scientific payloads landing on the Moon. 
- Investments in power, communications, and surface mobility 
- Scalable infrastructure to support long-term human presence

The objective is clear: build the foundation for an enduring lunar base and take the next step toward Mars.

We hot fired New Glenn’s GS2 serial number five last night, with the BE-3U engines ramping up to 175K of thrust. Love seeing the continuous flow of GS2s on the Space Coast!
