I hinted that I was chasing this photo on @Erdayastronaut’s livestream 😊

Internally, I was panicking that the Moon would be hidden by clouds or that SLS wouldn’t launch. I can’t believe it all worked.

L-28 days @BlueOrigin #NewShepard #FHF 🚀👩‍🚀

Figured it might be fun to share some fun facts along the way…

#DYK Alan Shepard carried a $1 bill on his Mercury flight? Do you know WHY? (It’s way more interesting…)

In this thread I'll break down how this image was captured, as some folks are insinuating that it is an inaccurate representation of the event (it's not).

Here's some more info:

[Todd Zwillich @toddzwillich]

It’s a story of genius, perseverance, ego, chauvinism, grievance and abuse. It lasted for decades before and after Apollo and I wrote an audiobook about it: https://t.co/oKujdSDcl8

@EmreKelly I enjoyed the audiobook from @toddzwillich about John Houbolt https://t.co/JyR3I3J6ba

I am happy to announce I have officially made oxygen on Mars. This this is a historic moment for ISRU (In-situ Resource Utilization) and paves the way human exploration and propellant depots on Mars. #moxie #mars #space #NASA #isru #spaceresources

One of my colleagues shared this earlier today with the comment "One of the things I love about Amazon is the use of narratives to focus a discussion towards a decision."

The other tweet in this thread has some helpful resources to help you learn how to do this!

#OTD in 1968 the crew of Apollo 8 took this striking photo of Earth.

Astronaut Jim Lovell said, “The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring & it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth.”

Take care of this planet—it’s perhaps the only one like it.
