Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and grandfathers out there helping inspire and prepare the explorers, builders, and dreamers of tomorrow. The future Starfleet is going to need a lot of recruits!
@andrewgaming131 Hi! Can you share the server link with me? I’d love to join. I’m studying geology and I’d love to meet some cool people with same interest.
The view from inside Integrity as recovery forces pop open the hatch…watching the helicopter pass over their shoulders and hearing all the joy, it was as good as it gets.
Life inside Orion!
The Moon joy was (and continues to be!) contagious as the Artemis II mission flew around the Moon and broke the record for farthest distance traveled from Earth.
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
One week has passed since Artemis II returned to Earth after a historic mission around the Moon. We laughed, we cried, and we pushed the boundaries of what’s possible, setting the stage for future innovation and exploration.
We’re just getting started.
Jesse, Steve, Laddy, and Vlad….such an incredible feeling to welcome you aboard Integrity after a nearly 700,000 mile journey. Forever thankful for your service to our crew and the nation.
The world watched.
Artemis II carried humans farther into space than we’ve ever been in over half a century and showed a new generation what exploration looks like.
The journey back to the Moon is underway.
Artemis III is up next.
Artemis II Moon mission complete!
