Dolphins x Astronauts: The collab we didn't know we needed 🐬
A pod of curious dolphins added extra meaning and porpoise to the recovery of #Crew9's @SpaceX Dragon and its four explorers shortly after splashdown.
Aparentemente, el módulo lunar de @Int_Machines#Athena alunizó hace 20 minutos. El centro de control se está comunicando con el módulo y está esperando una foto de la superficie lunar para confirmar la orientación del vehículo. #MoonLanding#IM2

Just in and it’s a STUNNER:
NASA just announced that is has CANCELED the VIPER rover program designed to search for ice on the Moon
The $433.5M rover was slated to launch later this year
Very disappointing, considering the rover has been built and was moving on to environmental testing. More to come

The #Starliner crew continues to make their way to the @Space_Station and are in a sleep period. Teams have identified three helium leaks on the spacecraft. One of these was previously discussed before flight along with a management plan. The other two are new since the spacecraft arrived on orbit. Two of the affected helium valves have been closed and the spacecraft remains stable. Follow along for continuous coverage: https://t.co/m6STOAQk2W
La actividad espacial necesita fierros y gente. La mexicana Caty Ramírez (@SpaceportMx) se enfocó en lo segundo, sobre todo en personas capaces de hacer hábitats que brinden un hogar fuera de la Tierra. Los detalles en @parteaguasclub, con Jonathan Ruiz.

Se ha recibido una respuesta de #SLIM, confirmando que la nave superó la noche lunar y mantuvo su capacidad de comunicación.
Se espera poder retomar las operaciones.
