Sam Neil was one of the reasons I wanted to be a paleontologist till about 11th grade. He was an amazing actor and a wonderful person. RIP and thank you for the good memories.

When leaders fill you with despair
When things look dark and dreary
And love seems far too rare -

Earthset.
The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.
Tired: Monday
Wired: Moonday
Today our Artemis II astronauts fly around the Moon! Tune in, starting at 1pm ET (1700 UTC) as they view parts of the Moon never seen by human eyes.

The launch team at @NASAKennedy are GO to begin filling the Artemis II rocket with fuel.
The official launch broadcast begins at 12:50pm ET (1650 UTC). Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than 6:24 pm ET (2224 UTC). Tanking coverage can be found here: https://t.co/VVJqQrRz4a
Tomorrow, we launch.
At sunset tonight, Artemis II waits on the pad, ready to carry astronauts potentially farther than any humans have traveled in more than half a century.
The next era of exploration begins.
On April 1st, four astronauts will embark on a historic journey as part of NASA’s Artemis II mission — the first crewed flight beyond low Earth orbit in over five decades.
The mission will send the crew nearly 230,000 miles (370,000 km) from Earth, looping around the Moon before safely returning home. It marks the first time humans have traveled this far since Apollo 17 in 1972.
Unlike the Apollo lunar landings, Artemis II is a critical test flight. Its primary goal is to prove that NASA’s powerful Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft can safely carry humans through the harsh environment of deep space, where increased radiation, vast distances, and prolonged isolation present significant challenges.
The international crew includes astronauts from the United States and Canada, highlighting a new era of global collaboration in lunar exploration.
If successful, Artemis II will pave the way for Artemis III — the mission that aims to return humans to the lunar surface for the first time since 1972.
Before we can live and work on the Moon, we must first prove we can travel there and return safely. Artemis II is that crucial first step.
