Happy Birthday Astronaut David Scott born June 6, 1932. 9⃣4️⃣ Scott flew in space three times, Gemini 8, #Apollo9 & #Apollo15, was the 7th person to walk on the Moon, & later drove the lunar rover for the first time on the moon's surface during the mission

No trip to a museum in Florence is complete without the viewing of Galileo's actual finger! The second picture is his tomb in Basilica Santa Croce.

#OTD in 1970, the Apollo 13 crew got their first glimpse of the damage caused by the explosion that occurred 200,000 miles from Earth.
The recent Artemis II mission helps us comprehend the gravity of the situation.
Here's my photographic analysis of the damage:

@BBCBreakfast Ahem! Artemis 2 wasn't a "four man crew". There was a woman on it.

Eyes peeled in the cupola awaiting the safe return of our @NASAArtemis friends. Our trajectory on @Space_Station will be passing nearby over the Pacific, so we hope to catch a glimpse!

@MJBeddingfield @gleopold1 @SmithsonianBook @penguinrandom Looking forward to this!

"Earthrise" - one of the most iconic photographs ever taken, wasn't planned!
As the world awaits the images from the Artemis II fly-by later today, how was was the original "Earthrise" photograph, captured?
Here's part of an hour long interview I did with @cspanhistory recently.

"Welcome to my old neighborhood." Our @NASAArtemis II astronauts woke up on the sixth day of their mission to a special message recorded in 2025 by astronaut Jim Lovell, the pilot of Apollo 8.

@AndySaunders_1 It's just getting better and better. For a short period of time the world seems like a better place.

[Tracey Steel @traceyfs]

@AndySaunders_1 That's very powerful. 😢

Through the windows of the past, we look to the future.

Signal acquired! 📡

Engineers at @NASAJPL have confirmed that the Orion spacecraft is communicating with the Deep Space Network. For the first time in over 50 years, we’re receiving a signal from a spacecraft carrying humans toward the Moon.

Glynn Lunney ~ “Here’s the deal. If you’re going go to the Moon, then you have to go to the Moon. Now you go mess about in low Earth orbit and so on, but if want to go to the Moon, then eventually you have to go to the Moon.”

@AndySaunders_1 @NASA Still feeling emotional...and exhausted! 😂

[Tracey Steel @traceyfs]

For the first time in a long time, I'm enjoying X tonight! #Artemis2 #NASA
