Historic (Apollo) and current space flight,
3Dprinting and building of space models,
some astro photography and space collection.
All rockets are great!

A better picture of the launch of SpaceX Falcon 9. Great that we had the possibility to witness a launch while on the Space Coast. 🚀

Beautiful vintage NASA images of the Gemini astronauts John Young, Michael Collins and Gus Grissom. (Items of the current Lunar Legacy auction.)

Fascinating video from inside Orion during the reentry and splash down of Artemis II.

POV: You're inside Integrity with the Artemis II crew for reentry all the way to splashdown. @csa_asc @astro_reid @Astro_Christina @AstroVicGlover @NASAArtemis https://t.co/3YdKQVsMdD

@AndySaunders_1 12.000 Artemis images! 👍
Any more plans with that treasure trove?

@AndySaunders_1 @AstroVicGlover 😁

Netherlands and the ocean, both blooming.
Zoom in to see the tulips' colours on the land, and the phytoplankton swirl of blue & green in the sea.
The tulips adorn vases around the world, and the phytoplankton (algae & bacteria) convert sunlight and CO2 into organic matter which sustains nearly all marine life.
Life is beautiful.

I'm thrilled to share this unique collaboration with Artemis Il astronaut @astro_reid.

Artemis II was a unique opportunity to get high-quality imagery of the moon, and Reid was gracious enough to capture some special image sets for me during the lunar flyby.

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

Great to see Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman on the F1 podium presenting the trophy to the winner of the sprint race! The Artemis astronauts have a very busy schedule this week!

[Andy Saunders - Apollo Remastered @AndySaunders_1]

'@Astro_Christina can be heard clicking away with the Nikon, capturing the breathtaking Earthset photographs already shared. @AstroVicGlover and @Astro_Jeremy are viewing through another window. Such a privelege for the crew to make this incredible...more

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

Artemis II was a fantastic mission to follow and I spend many hours watching the livestream. Four astronauts are on the porch waiting to be transported to the ship. It's 3.45 AM here now, so time too sign off. Even my teenage daughter stayed up to watch.

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

Yes! Welcome home crew of Artemis II! Congratulations on an inspiring mission!

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

🙏🤞

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

Wow, look at that beauty growing bigger and bigger! 🌎 Over 35.000 km to go. Splash down will be around 2 at night here in Europe, but I will certainly watch it live!

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

@torybruno @blueorigin Thanks, great image! Would be great if you could also share a video of the latch mechanism in action.

Maybe a silly question, but why does the Orion hatch open to the right and the Apollo hatch to the left? Any specific reason?

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

@torybruno I have a soft spot for the Apollo side hatch (see profile pic and model below). The Artemis hatch has lots of similarities. Would love to see the Artemis II crew explaining the different parts and functionalities. So yes, good images would be very welcome!

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

Great to see Dutch newspapers with the Artemis Earthset photos on the frontpage!👍

A small reminder of the solar eclipse captured by the crew of Apollo 11 on July 19, 1969 on their way to the Moon.

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

Oh boy... The solar eclipse and the space craft Orion in one view... Moon and solar joy!

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

@Astro_Jenni 😁👍

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

And the final result! Beautiful!

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

Can't wait to see the hi-res photographs the crew of Artemis II have taken!
This looks promising!

[🚀Alex's All Things Space 🚀 @SpacePrints3D]

Fantastic! Earthset, Earthrise and solar eclipse photos were just released by NASA! Beautiful iconic photography!
