Mini astronaut from Italy/Europe - who is flying with #MoonDotShip to the Moon - and I am not Luca Parmitano, who is huge - and I am small

[Mini Astro Luca @MiniAstro_Luca]

Did you miss the 1st joint @ESA/@NASA mission to the Lunar surface? This was our launch by a mini @Ariane6 & a @NASA_Orion #spaceship! You can find all the cool infos about our fabulous #MoonDotShip mission in this video series: https://t.co/L1qYXEQDRi

Is this the #ArtemisII #Orion capsule? No. It's even better: this is the very 1st Orion capsule that was in #space in 2014 during the #EM1 mission! I visited @nasakennedy with my buddy @StuartMcclung 9 years ago. Thank you so much Stu!

#OMG! Nine years already since the touchdown of the #MoonDot #space capsule at the beach in West Florida! This was the end of my final official space mission to the international mini Lunar Gateway @MoonDotStation lead by @esa ! https://t.co/hicrqYOr9D

@Mausonaut @NASAArtemis We are still waiting here to learn more about the status of the @NASAArtemis II crew! @Mausonaut is a bit worried because nobody is mentioning his buddy Rise! Just saying ... any news about Rise @NASA?

[Mausonaut @Mausonaut]

... and we have SPLASHDOWN of #Apollo18, wait @NASAArtemis II with my buddy Rise and 4 humans on board in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego! Woohoo!
This was really an incredible journey! The future we have dreamed of has finally begun !

[Mausonaut @Mausonaut]

... OMG! This is incredible footage of the @NASAArtemis II crew module separation with Rise and 4 humans on board from the 11th European Service Module! We four here in the center experienced that at least once, but never saw it like that! #MoonDot 🌒 #STEAM #STEMEd #ESA #NASA

[Mausonaut @Mausonaut]

... we have several friends here today watching with us the live transmission of the return to Earth of the @NASAArtemis II human crew (and my buddy Rise) after the amazing flyby mission around the #Moon! These are our mini friends from #Ukraine from the band @jinjerofficial !

[Mausonaut @Mausonaut]

Hello #space fanatics! What are you doing just right now? We are following the return of the @NASAArtemis II mission with the lovely Rise and 4 super kind humans back to Earth! That's the most critical mission phase! Please join us to watch here: https://t.co/sBPGhhV0cd

[Mausonaut @Mausonaut]

@NASAArtemis Thanks a lot, Rise!
Oh, there is no doubt that you are way cuter than me - just a tiny mouse from the parallel #MoonDot universe! But I have spent more time in space during my six spaceflights including the Lunar landing in 2022! And that's a different topic! 🤣

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

@Mausonaut I think the more important question is... who's cuter?! -Rise

[Mausonaut @Mausonaut]

@NASAArtemis Thank you for the great service, Rise! Am I the only mouse on board?
Happy floating anyway! Enjoy the remaining time of the #ArtemisII mission!

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

Did you send your name aboard Artemis II???

If you did, then your name is literally in my pocket!! And every time you see me floating around the Orion spacecraft — that’s where your name is! With ME!

Don’t worry — I’ve kept your names safe as I’ve flown around the Moon 🫡 -Rise

[Mausonaut @Mausonaut]

All eyes on the #Moon during the Lunar flyby of the #ArtemisII mission!
We are watching the historic event with our mini friends from @ESA, @NASA, @jinjerofficial ...
And how does your watch party look like?

[Mausonaut @Mausonaut]

Great to see finally humans flying to the #Moon - and finding some time to reflect on Easter!
That brings back great memories about my Easter time back in 2017 during my 5th space mission in the #MoonDot universe returning home from @MoonDotStation: https://t.co/hicrqYOr9D

[Holger Voss Ph.D. @SpaceHolgar]

OMG! We are going back to the Moon! The #ArtemisII mission just begun with the launch of the giant SLS launcher! And we had a watch party here with @Mausonaut, @JrAstronautin, @MiniAstroAmelie, @MiniAstro_Luca and the girl and the boys from @jinjerofficial ! And your party?

[Altaira @JrAstronautin]

@esa @NASAArtemis @asc_csa @csa_asc @AirbusSpace We can't wait for this launch and mission to start, finally!
Go #Artemis, go #SLS, go #Orion, go European Service Module #ESM!

[European Space Agency @esa]

🌙 Next week. Lunar mission #Artemis II is currently set to launch on 1 April (23:24 BST/00:24 CEST, 2 April).

Orion’s powerhouse is European: our Service Module will deliver power, propulsion and life support, to send crew around the Moon.

#OTD 9 years ago we launched the brave explorer @Mausonaut with an mini #Ariane6 #rocket to his final official mission to the mini Lunar Gateway @MoonDotStation - all in the parallel #MoonDot universe! https://t.co/jTMfhTv15Q

The Orion spacecraft at top of the SLS rocket is back on the launch pad to be prepared for its launch at earliest on 1st April.
Europe plays a crucial role to bring humans back to the Moon.
Check out our latest story to learn how the European space industry led by @esa is supporting NASA in this journey.
