We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt
Happy 96th birthday to Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin! 🎂
We wish him the utmost health and happiness as he completes another orbit around the Sun.
This photo was taken 60 years ago this November as Aldrin embarked on his first spaceflight: Gemini XII.

🙊 On Sunday, @CBPSouthTexas officers at the Brownsville & Matamoros Int'l Bridge stopped a man attempting to smuggle 3 live monkeys in a vehicle. The monkeys, protected under CITES, were turned over to @USFWS and are now safe at @GladysPorterZoo. More: https://t.co/yZdgSypiN7
Rest in peace President Jimmy Carter.
Carter took the occasion of NASA’s 20th birthday on Oct. 1, 1978, to visit NASA's Kennedy Space Center and bestow the first Congressional Space Medals of Honor on astronauts Neil Armstrong, Frank Borman, Pete Conrad, John Glenn, Alan Shepard and Betty Grissom, the wife of astronaut Gus Grissom.
In his remarks that day, he said: “In the last analysis, the challenge of space takes us very close to the heart of things. It brings us face to face with the mysteries of creation, matter, energy, and life. The men we honor today met that challenge, and were equal to it. Our nation met that challenge, and was equal to it. And in the final two decades of the 20th century, America will reach out once more to the beauty and mystery of space. And, once more, America will be equal to the task.”
Today, NASA's Juno mission, which has been orbiting Jupiter from pole to pole since 2016, regularly sends us detailed views of the planet's dazzling polar cyclones.
One giant leap!

Astronauts Jim Lovell and Buzz Aldrin had just completed their four-day space mission, the final mission of the Gemini program.
During Aldrin's spacewalks for the Gemini XII mission, he successfully overcame the challenges experienced during the extravehicular activities of previous Gemini missions.

One giant leap for womankind!
5 years ago today, Christina Koch and Jessica Meir conducted the first all-woman spacewalk, working outside the ISS to replace faulty equipment.
Since the first spacewalk in 1965, there have been 265 spacewalkers. Only 23 of them have been women.
Mae Jemison, an engineer and M.D., was one of 15 astronaut candidates chosen from a pool of 2,000 applicants in 1988.
#OTD in 1992, she not only achieved her dream of going to space, but became the first Black woman to do so, flying aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour for STS-47.
Look, Mom! I'm floating!
On STS-64, launched 30 years ago today, Astronauts Mark C. Lee (pictured here) and Carl J. Meade performed the first untethered US spacewalk in 10 years to test the SAFER system. SAFER was a jetpack system meant for emergency use only.
"I'm as good as anybody." –NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, born #OTD in 1918
Known for her trajectory analysis for John Glenn's Friendship 7 flight, Johnson's work and that of countless others in NASA's history advanced equality within NASA and beyond! #WomensEqualityDay
See the amazing documentary watched by millions worldwide. Scientists and scholars explore the strong evidence for creation in six normal days, a real Adam and Eve, a global Flood, a tower of Babel, a young earth, and hundreds of other fascinating aspects of God’s creation.
After Apollo 11, there were six more missions to send astronauts to the Moon. But Apollo hardware was used for a few more missions after the Apollo lunar program ended: the last of which was the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project which splashed down #OTD in 1975. https://t.co/6dLDidwmO6
On his birthday, we remember NASA astronaut and former Senator John Glenn—the first American to orbit the Earth in Feb 1962.

In early 1969 Jack A. Kinzler was responsible for designing a flagstaff for the American flag to be planted on the Moon by the #Apollo11 astronauts and having it “fly” in the airless environment.

The two-part Viking 1 reached Mars orbit on this day in 1976. One month later, the Viking 1 lander would become the first spacecraft to successfully land on the planet while the orbiter would continue to map and make scientific observations of the planet for four years.
