For the first time in over 50 years, humans are Moonbound.
At 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC) NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft lifted off from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending four astronauts on a planned test flight around the Moon and back. https://t.co/0Q9ZB4IWVI
For the first time in history, a woman is venturing to the Moon.
NASA astronaut Christina Koch is set to make that milestone on NASA's Artemis II mission — a daring ~10-day journey that will send four astronauts on a voyage around the Moon and farther from Earth than any woman has ever traveled before.
Serving as mission specialist aboard the Orion spacecraft, Koch will help test critical life support, navigation, and communication systems as the crew travels hundreds of thousands of miles into deep space.
She already holds the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman — 328 days aboard the International Space Station — and in 2019, she took part in the first all-female spacewalk.
Since the Apollo era, nearly 90% of astronauts have been men. Artemis II represents not only a leap in technology, but a profound shift in who gets to explore the cosmos.
“If there’s something to celebrate, it’s that we are at a time when anyone who has a dream gets to work equally hard to achieve that dream,” Koch said. “If we’re not going for all and by all, we’re not truly answering humanity’s call to explore.”
3, 2, 1... lift-off!

We need to show Princess Anne more love...
When offered flowers, she looked behind her and said:
'Are you sure?' and thought it was because she was the last person standing.
'You're first to me every year' the well-wisher said 👏

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.
The Binary Sunset scene in Star Wars (1977), with Luke gazing at the twin suns, is pure cinematic magic. Williams’ score captures every ounce of longing and hope in a single moment.
