All her life she tried to be a good person. Many times, however, she failed. For after all, she was only human. She wasn't a dog.

@Fortnite It would have been fun to keep the community day stuff until the end of the season. It was so much fun!

The earth is just spinning through infinite darkness at 67,000 miles per hour and somehow it also made blueberries?? And laughing?? And the feeling of sun on your face?? What is this place. What a an absolute gift.

I want a moon mission once per month for my mental health. It’s admittedly more expensive than the Wellbutrin, but also much more effective.

Sorry I can text or chat until after 9pm tonight. I’ll be holding my breath until then.

After a journey of more than 690,000 miles, the crew is nearly home.

The Artemis II crew will splash down off the coast of San Diego later today and, though it won’t be visible from land, you can still wave in their general direction to welcome them back to Earth! 👋

@LeahCheshier I said to my husband that I missed seeing you in yesterday’s broadcast. Thank you for an amazing week

spent friday tracking down 7K bot requests hammering a client's site in minutes. turns out it was coming from inside the house. @LiquidWeb told me it was an 'external source.' sir that IP is in your ASN. After asking them to identify the abuse, they said they'd open a ticket 👀

@Frankster1044 @NASAAdmin @tropicalupdate @NASA So you think NASA is going to reclassify Pluto because of this letter?

Hi! I’m Rise!

About a week ago, I launched aboard the Artemis II mission with four of my besties. Since then, I have been serving a very important purpose aboard the Orion spacecraft… I float. (And I look cute.)

Today, I am taking over the Artemis social media accounts! -Rise

I don’t really understand the maths it takes to send humans behind the Moon and bring them back safely. And the more I sit with that, the more it genuinely messes with my head even tho my love for physics and my knowledge of physics is astounding to a point

Somebody had to work out a path where the Moon’s gravity is pulling you in, the Earth is pulling you back, and you’re moving just fast enough and not slow enough not to get trapped by either. They had to figure out the exact angle to come back into Earth’s atmosphere too. Too steep, you burn up. Too shallow, you bounce off and drift into space. And they had to get all of that right at the same time, for real people sitting in a small metal capsule about 400k kilometres away from home.

Nothing in that system is standing still.
The Moon is moving.
The Earth is moving.
Even the Sun is pulling on everything. And still, some people looked at all of that motion, all of that chaos, and turned it into numbers you can follow. Go here.
Adjust here.
Come back here.
And unlike nepa light, it infact works.

There’s also that moment in the journey where the crew passes behind the Moon. No contact with Earth. No signal. Just silence, with a massive rock blocking everything they’ve ever known. The only reason they can stay calm in that moment is because someone, somewhere, did the maths and proved they’ll come out the other side.

I don’t know what it feels like to trust something that much. To put your life in an equation when you’re that far away from everything.

But I do know this for sure, whatever that level of thinking is, whatever it takes to reach it, it might be one of the most extraordinary things human beings have ever done...
