“We had to find a way and we did. Looking back, we were the luckiest people in the world; there was no choice but to be pioneers.” —Margaret Hamilton

Rest in peace, Margaret. Your trailblazing work leading the development of the on-board flight software for the Apollo spacecraft will forever be remembered. 🫡

Just a regular ol' rocket engine!

The third of four RS-25 rocket engines have arrived to @NASAKennedy to be integrated into the Artemis III rocket. Space Launch System uses four RS-25 engines to propel the Orion spacecraft, providing over two million pounds of thrust at liftoff.

🔍 C'è un dettaglio che non tutti hanno notato guardando Zverev giocare.

Nei cambi di campo, mentre gli altri bevono o si asciugano il sudore, Sascha si fa un'iniezione di insulina. Lo ha fatto anche durante la finale del Roland Garros 2026, sotto i riflettori del tennis mondiale.

🏥 Alexander Zverev convive con il diabete di tipo 1 da quando aveva quattro anni. Una vita intera, tra allenamenti, viaggi e campo, passata a gestire i livelli di glucosio nel corpo.

Eppure per molto tempo non ne ha parlato. Non per vergogna, ma per una scelta precisa: non voleva che fosse il diabete a definirlo. Non voleva pietà. Lo ha fatto pubblicamente solo nel 2022.

👨‍⚕️ I medici avevano consigliato a sua madre di fargli cambiare sport: giocare a tennis con il diabete, dissero, sarebbe stato troppo difficile.

Zverev quando è in campo gioca nello stesso momento due partite diverse: quella contro il suo avversario e tenere costantemente monitorato il livello della sua glicemia.

🥵 In partita la glicemia può diventare una roulette: un attimo sei in calo fino al rischio di collasso ipoglicemico, quello dopo lo stress e l’intensità ti spingono in iperglicemia con sete, crampi e confusione, tra performance che crolla e pericoli acuti se non gestita.

Oltre al traguardo sportivo, che per Sascha è stato così atteso, inseguito e a tratti maledetto, questo titolo Slam vale molto più.

💭 È il megafono più potente che potesse trovare per il messaggio che porta avanti attraverso la sua Fondazione: ai bambini con diabete di tipo 1 dice che possono sognare in grande, senza privarsi dello sport e di ambire anche a salire sul tetto del mondo del tennis.

Ora che l'adrenalina sta scendendo ci prendiamo un momento per salutare i nuovi arrivati e ringraziare chi ci ha seguito o scoperto in questi 10 giorni. L'avventura spaziale continua, ci trovate ogni giovedì alle 21:30 in live per vivere insieme altre emozioni fuori dal mondo. 🚀

Even in darkness, we glow.

In this image of Earth taken by the Artemis II crew, we can see the electric lights of human activity. In the lower right, sunlight illuminates the limb of the planet.

Following the successful @NASAArtemis translunar injection burn, the Orion capsule’s communications have once again transitioned from the Near Space Network to the Deep Space Network.

This is one of many planned comms handovers on the crew's journey around the Moon. 📡

We’ve received approval to develop Space Launch Complex-37 for Starship operations at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Construction has started.
With three launch pads in Florida, Starship will be ready to support America’s national security and Artemis goals as the world’s premiere spaceport continues to evolve to enable airport-like operations. We’d like to thank the Department of the Air Force (@usairforce), 45th Space Force (@SLDelta45), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife (@USFWS) for their effort on the environmental review

View of Starship landing burn and splashdown on Flight 10, made possible by SpaceX’s recovery team. Starship made it through reentry with intentionally missing tiles, completed maneuvers to intentionally stress its flaps, had visible damage to its aft skirt and flaps, and still executed a flip and landing burn that placed it approximately 3 meters from its targeted splashdown point

Liftoff of Starship!

Earlier this month, NASA declared its intent to put a nuclear reactor on the Moon by the mid-2030s to power the lunar economy.

NASA is surveying industry for interest and feedback on a fission surface power system. Responses are due Thursday, Aug. 21. https://t.co/d4PzaXNiNZ

[ARCHIVED: Gateway Lunar Space Station @NASA_Gateway]

🌍➡️🌕 The Lunar Gateway Launch, mapped. Gateway's first elements, the Power and Propulsion Element and HALO, will launch together to lunar orbit, where they’ll set the stage for #Artemis IV: the first Gateway assembly mission. During that milestone mission, the Artemis IV crew will deliver @esa's Lunar I-Hab, dock it to HALO, and enter the station for the very first time. https://t.co/ITiqisN7y8

[ARCHIVED: Gateway Lunar Space Station @NASA_Gateway]

A deep-space duo in the making! 🌕✨ Gateway’s first two modules, the Power and Propulsion Element and Habitation and Logistics Outpost, are taking shape —together, they’re the foundation of humanity’s first space station beyond low Earth orbit. https://t.co/dUCpntUUjd

[ARCHIVED: Gateway Lunar Space Station @NASA_Gateway]

When will Gateway welcome its first crew? 🤔 During #Artemis IV! Orion will deliver @esa's Lunar I-Hab to Gateway, where it will dock with the Habitation and Logistics Outpost. Once connected, astronauts will enter Gateway for the very first time. ✨🌕 https://t.co/pX30hRKATr
