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
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.
The names of nearly 11 million Earthlings are riding along with Perseverance as it explores the Martian landscape. (This view was taken on Tuesday.)
There's still time to send your name to travel with @NASAArtemis astronauts on their journey to the Moon! https://t.co/VJpSDI9mn3

That dot is us, all 8 billion of us. It's all an insanely lucky miracle.
I'm grateful for all of it & all of you. Love you all! ❤️
PS: Now, I'm off to partake in the great American Thanksgiving tradition of over-eating while getting into a heated philosophical argument with family 🤣
