It's our home.

This Earth Day, see our planet as our Artemis II astronauts saw it with these new images from the mission.

[Ryan L Kobrick, PhD @RyInSpace]

That's all of us, all but 4.

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.

Mission NS-38 Update: One of our crew members is no longer able to fly due to illness; he will join a future mission. Our new sixth crew member will be Dr. Laura Stiles, Blue Origin’s Director of New Shepard Launch Operations. The mission is still slated for Thursday, January 22, from Launch Site One.

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Wow. LETS GO!!!

The first rule about Government Shutdown is that you don't talk about Government Shutdown.

Today included a lot of hurry up and wait and no answers. I guess in 13 minutes the government will be shutdown. So call me maybe?

What a view. From our new free flying camera — deployed on yesterday’s New Shepard mission. (The “bubble” is the seam between two 180 degree lenses.)

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Key stats from today’s New Shepard NS-35 mission:

The crew capsule reached an apogee of 341,805 ft AGL / 345,452 ft MSL (104 km AGL / 105 km MSL).

The booster reached an apogee of 341,489 ft AGL / 345,136 ft MSL (104 km AGL / 105 km MSL).

Official launch time was 8:00:00 AM CDT / 13:00:00 UTC.

Capsule landing occurred at 8:10:14 AM CDT / 13:10:14 UTC.

The mission elapsed time was 10 min 14 sec.

Some of the amazing team from Space Lab Technologies is in Texas getting ready to integrate our payload into New Shepard to fly plants to space! Expect a few updates from me, but the official updates will be on LinkedIn & Instagram (@SpaceLabTech needs to be transferred). #NS35

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

New Shepard NS-35 is targeting liftoff on Thursday, Sept. 18. The uncrewed payload mission will fly more than 40 scientific and research payloads to space. The launch window opens at 8:00 AM CDT / 1300 UTC. Live webcast starts 15 minutes before liftoff at https://t.co/HDnysvOt5i.

From orbit, star trails streak the lights of cities at night and stamp lightning flashes into the time history, pulling spectacular colors from the darkness of space.

[Spaceflight Now @SpaceflightNow]

Asked about the interaction of the Human Landing System version of Starship's plume during landing with the lunar regolith and how it could interact with Starship's elevator mechanics, NASA's Lori Glaze says they're learning more from the SCALPSS payload, which flew on IM-1, Blue Ghost 1 and the upcoming Blue Moon Mk.1 mission.

SpaceX is also required to perform an uncrewed landing and ascent demonstration with the HLS version of Starship prior to the Artemis 3 mission.

The world has lost an amazing explorer today, Fair Winds to Marc Garneau, Canada's first astronaut. I'm happy that we had several interactions thanks to the @csa_asc and their student / young professional programs. 🇨🇦👨🏼‍🚀🚀⛵

I don’t believe this is a political statement. It’s a truth I encounter each day via science to enable life to thrive in deep space and humanity to be multi-planetary

I'm excited to be attending the #40thSpaceSymposium Tuesday! My schedule is filling up, and I'd love to discuss potential collaborations, contract opportunities, or ideally, my next full-time career role. Let's connect! #OpenToWork #ToTheMoon #OnToMars #ForEarth

New Glenn safely reached its intended orbit during today's NG-1 mission, accomplishing our primary objective. The second stage is in its final orbit following two successful burns of the BE-3U engines. The Blue Ring Pathfinder is receiving data and performing well.

We lost the booster during descent. We knew landing the first stage on the first try was ambitious. We'll learn, refine, and apply that knowledge to our next launch in the spring. We're thrilled with today's outcome. More: https://t.co/5cF4ACgm3X

[Spaceflight Now @SpaceflightNow]

@NASA @fireflyspace @SpaceX 12/ One of the payloads, called 'Lunar PlanetVac,' is designed to collect and analyze samples of lunar regolith. These samples are not designed for return, but images and data will be shared publicly.
