People who naturally possess status, power, and favorable conditions often have giant hearts. Praiseworthy and admirable.🎊
However, we cannot accept the disrespect shown by some disadvantaged individuals who look down on brothers and sisters in the same circumstances.💕🎀💯

Artemis II: Closing in on the MoonThe astronauts of Artemis II are now truly venturing into deep space — and the Moon is getting closer every hour.They have already traveled more than 200,000 miles (about 320,000 km) from Earth. With every passing moment, our home planet grows smaller in their windows, while the Moon looms larger ahead. Soon, the Moon’s gravitational pull — its “sphere of influence” — will begin to dominate, gently tugging the spacecraft into its embrace.Right now, the crew is fully immersed in the demanding routines of deep-space flight: Running critical checks on the life support systems that keep them alive
Testing communications with Earth across vast distances
Practicing manual flight maneuvers
And carefully preparing for the dramatic lunar flyby that lies just ahead
This is the moment Artemis II transitions from leaving Earth behind to preparing for humanity’s return to the Moon — not just orbiting it, but getting ready to push the boundaries of exploration once again.The journey is entering its most exciting phase.
One of the largest drone shows in North America, celebrating our Lord and Savior on Good Friday, featured 10,000 drones illustrating the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for us at the "Jesus Jesus Jesus" worship gathering in Texas
Simply incredible! 🙏
These four astronauts are currently on a mission to fly around the Moon—and soon they'll break the record for how far humans have traveled from Earth!

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet.
The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation
with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy.
There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one.
That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure.

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.
