It was inspiring to watch the Artemis II launch yesterday — @NASA’s first crewed mission around the moon since 1972. Our space program has always captured an essential part of what it means to reach beyond what we thought was possible, and I hope the four brave astronauts on this mission will inspire a new generation to follow in their footsteps.
Greatly honoured to moderate this session on *Diaspora Engagement: a Revamped Approach* with PS @roselinenjogu giving a forward-looking presentation, redirecting the esteemed ambassadors to possibilities, opportunities & renewed mindset. Diaspora are 🇰🇪's greatest national asset
Christina Koch is flying on Artemis II, and she’s about to become the first woman to travel to the Moon.
She’s an engineer from North Carolina with degrees in electrical engineering and physics. Before NASA, she spent time in places like Antarctica and Greenland, working at research stations there.
In 2019, she went to the ISS. It was planned as a shorter mission, but NASA extended it, turning it into a 328 day stay, the longest single spaceflight by a woman. While she was up there, she orbited Earth thousands of times and went on 6 spacewalks. A lot of her work was focused on understanding what long periods in space actually do to the human body.
Now she’s flying as a Mission Specialist on Artemis II, and she won’t just be part of the mission, she’ll be the first woman to make that journey toward the Moon.

Le racisme anti-Noir est un autre fléau au sein de la société algérienne 🇩🇿 au même titre que la haine du Juif, du Français, du Marocain, du Kabyle, et j’en passe. Les images datent d’hier, lors de la visite en Algérie du célèbre influenceur américain « IShowSpeed » qui a été agressé par le public en raison de sa couleur de peau
@robertsepehr@BasilTheGreat For someone who claims to be an anthropologist, your comment lacks the nuance and rigor the discipline requires... a rather intellectually careless take on immigrants! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
