Space walk glove - beautiful engineering.
Protects us from the deadly vacuum of space and the wild temperature swings, while letting us feel what we're grabbing. In training I could pick up a dime off the pool floor.
They twist and lock into place at the end of the spacesuit sleeves.
🚨: The once-in-an-eon event that gave Earth plants has happened again─ An event is only known to have happened three times before in the history of life on Earth has been documented again.
🚨: After 48 years of travel, NASA 's Voyager 1 is nearing one light-day from Earth, almost 16 billion miles away.
A proud milestone for humanity, and a humbling reminder of how small we are in an infinite universe.
From the surface of Mars, these three points of light aren’t stars at all.
They’re Earth, Jupiter, and Venus, aligned across deep space 🌌
A humbling view of our world,
Just 225 million miles away 🤯

LIVE: Experts are discussing our TRACERS mission, two satellites which will study how Earth's magnetosphere protects our planet from solar wind. TRACERS is scheduled to launch no earlier than late July. Listen in: https://t.co/i3rVKJ5LaG
On this day, July 16th 1969, we were “GO” for launch – and at precisely 13:32 UTC, #Apollo11 lifted off from @NASAKennedy to transport three mortal Americans – Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and myself – to the Moon. The hard work, dedication and focus across the entire @NASA enterprise came down to this – even though it was only the beginning of our journey. But as Walter Cronkite remarked at the time, “The dawn of this day heralded the dawning of a new age. It’s a time of exhilaration, reflection, hope, fulfillment – as a centuries’ old dream starts toward reality.”
Congrats to Axiom Mission 4 on a successful splashdown! Missions like #Ax4 support research and outreach while developing the low Earth orbit economy, ultimately providing the government with reliable and safe access to space at a lower cost.
