First stop, Mars. Next stop, Psyche ๐
On May 15, our Psyche spacecraft swung by Mars on its way to its next destination: a metal-rich asteroid also named Psyche. The Red Planet gave the spacecraft a 1,000-mph speed boost and provided some stunning photos as well!
Launch rehearsal complete. During a flight-like countdown, more than 5,000 metric tonnes (11+ million pounds) of propellant were loaded on the fully stacked Starship and Super Heavy V3 vehicles for the first time

Only one chance in this lifetimeโฆ
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldnโt 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 viewโฆthis is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
Architect vs. Artist: Who Actually Drew the Centuryโs Most Iconic Logo?
The creation of the Mexico 68 logo remains one of graphic designโs most storied power struggles. While history often highlights American designer Lance Wyman for the technical execution of the radiating parallel lines, archival evidence and testimonies from the Organizing Committee strongly support Pedro Ramรญrez Vรกzquez as the conceptual architect. As the Committeeโs President, Ramรญrez Vรกzquez rejected initial proposals as too "Western" and dictated the core vision: a fusion of the five Olympic rings with the digits "68." He sought to marry modern Op Art with the linear geometry of indigenous Huichol wax paintings, ensuring the identity was undeniably Mexican.
The drama between the two men stems from a fundamental clash over authorship versus collaboration. Wyman has long maintained that his arrival in Mexico City and subsequent sketches birthed the "68" logotype. Conversely, Ramรญrez Vรกzquezโs estate has produced documents suggesting the geometry was already being prototyped under his strict direction before Wyman was even hired. This friction illustrates the tension between a visionary director who sets the "Total Look" and the talented designer who refines it. While Wyman provided the expert hand, it was Ramรญrez Vรกzquezโs cultural authority and specific geometric instructions that ultimately defined the logoโs soul, leaving a legacy of brilliance shadowed by a lifelong dispute over who truly held the pen.

The Artemis re-entry map explained!
To understand this fully, I needed a visual. So here is the @NASA Orion OEM dataset playing in one of my realtime space scenes. The result - a fun way to visualize how this ground tracked map works! #Artemis#ArtemisII#Space#threeJS
@NASA has just released some EXTRAORDINARY tracking footage from Artemis II's launch just one week ago.

Hello, Moon. Itโs great to be back.
Hereโs a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
THE ARTEMIS II ECLIPSE.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
Go outside and look at the Moon!
I just took this photo in awe... for the first time in over 53 years, humans are headed there following tonight's translunar injection burn.
Look up, smile, and send your best wishes to four fellow humans making the journey on Artemis II.
