🚨 BREAKING: Incredible moment as Artemis II pilot Victor Glover shares the Gospel mere MOMENTS before reaching the back side of the Moon, losing communication with Earth

"Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command, that it was to love God with all that you are." 🙏🏻

"And he also, being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it, and that is to love your neighbor as yourself."

"And so, as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we're still going to feel your love from Earth, and to all of you down there on earth and around earth, we love you from the moon." ❤️

As communities gather this weekend, @AstroVicGlover reflects on the shared spaceship we all call home: Earth.

[Saganism @Saganismm]

Look closely. Between these two moments, our species has performed miracles. We have mapped the blueprint of life within our own DNA. We have built “brains” of silicon that can outthink their creators. We have pushed back the darkness of disease. Infant mortality has plummeted, and millions of children who would have been lost to the earth in 1972 are today alive, dreaming, and contributing to the global chorus. We have sent robotic emissaries to the edge of the interstellar dark and peered back at the beginning of time itself through mirrors of gold.

Technologically, we are a different species. We are more connected, more informed, and more capable than any ancestor could have imagined in their wildest fever dreams.

And yet, look again.

From this distance, the borders remain invisible. You cannot see the “holy” ground over which we spill the blood of our children. You cannot see the walls we build to keep our neighbors out or the ideological trenches we dig to bury our common humanity. Despite our leap from vacuum tubes to artificial intelligence, we remain haunted by the same ancient tribalisms. We use 21st century technology to prosecute Bronze Age grudges.

We have changed the climate of our world, but we have yet to change the climate of our hearts. We are still a toddler civilization, playing with matches in a library of irreplaceable wonders.

The contrast is our great paradox. We have the power of gods, but we still possess the temperaments of the territorial primates from which we rose. We have learned to fly between worlds, but we are still struggling to learn how to walk together on this one.

Stellar integration of science, physiology, humanity & medicine. What a time to be alive! 👏🏾💫 #ArtemisII

[NASA Science @NASAScience_]

NASA Science is building the ultimate interplanetary survival guide with Artemis II:

🔬 Tracking astronaut health in deep space
☢ Studying radiation & its effects
🌑 Understanding the Moon’s environment

Science is how we’ll explore, thrive & return safely, from the Moon to Mars and beyond: https://t.co/Gu3yvxyqzO

"Let it be recorded that when history beckoned, we did what was right for the memory of the millions who suffered the indignity of slavery.
Let our vote on this resolution restore their dignity and humanity." - President John Dramani Mahama

@nkquakyi This!!!!!

[Metabel Markwei, MD, ScM @mettymarkwei]

@_CarlMoney @KMAkandoh Calling cameras to publicly chastise clinicians isn’t leadership. It’s political optics parading as reform. If he truly cared about outcomes, he’d ask clinicians what infrastructure & support they need, not blame them on live TV. Real change requires partnership, not performance.

Really great news for global access in the last few weeks. Hopefully, we all put our money where our mouth is and actually make this “accessible” to all.

Another opportunity to work towards our dreams. This is a privilege. Happy new year.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The most enduring marker of success isn't wealth, fame, or power. It’s what we create and contribute to others.

In the short run, status symbols capture attention. In the long run, achievement is judged by impact.

The highest accomplishment is improving the lives of others.
