This animation shows NASA’s Artemis II mission path, a journey of nearly 685,000 miles. The crew will travel in a figure-eight trajectory, looping out from Earth, around the Moon, and back again.

ARTEMIS II🚨: In the mission, the 4 astronauts will travel 400,000 km from Earth, which would be the farthest any human has ever gone in all of humanity.

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.

Incredible that it was only 66 years from the first controlled, powered flight to landing on the Moon!

@joeroganhq "Quick pitch: Navy sub vet → AI robotics for space psych resilience → writing a grief-to-time-travel trilogy. All real-life inspired. Fun convo? @joerogan"

[Justin Blanton @SilverAceJC]

@joeroganhq Love your show. Not sure if you’re into what I’d talk about but it would be fun.

[Justin Blanton @SilverAceJC]

@elonmusk Pretty cool. I’m doing a homemade version of ai in my car, and it’s offline and smart. I like the innovations.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced that final, system-wide testing for Artemis Il, the first crewed lunar spaceflight mission by the United States since Apollo 17 in 1972, will begin in roughly two weeks, with the earliest launch date scheduled for February 6, 2026.

Happy New Year 🌔

At the stroke of midnight, we begin a new year—the year we will fly around the Moon with humans. In as early as February, the Artemis II crew will travel approximately 685,000 miles (~1.1 million km) from Earth, venture around the Moon, and return home.

The Moon is calling! 🚀

Inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at @NASAKennedy, some of the retractable platforms have been pulled away from the SLS and Orion spacecraft, marking a major milestone on the road to launch.

Artemis II is one step closer to liftoff.

"Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you—all of you on the good Earth"

Astronauts orbited the Moon for the first time in history on Christmas Eve, 1968. On their fourth orbit, they captured the sight of the Earth rising over the Moon's horizon, a photo dubbed "Earthrise."

Back in the lab. Cookie Monster’s getting a voice, and the robotic arm’s waking up again.

Drilled, fabbed, messy as hell — progress is progress.
