Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s 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
Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶
The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.
Behind the four astronauts of Artemis II are hundreds of people tracking their every move: monitoring spacecraft systems, evaluating crew safety, and staying in constant communication. Let’s hear it for the team in Mission Control responsible for getting the astronauts around the Moon and safely home.
This girl said, “When you walk through a museum, you’re not just looking at art. You’re moving through centuries of people trying to explain love, grief, power, beauty, and belonging.” And now I can’t unsee it 🥺❤️…
unless you’re naturally a music lover, no one warns you how you’ll become less interested with new music the older you get, & you just go back to all your old favorite songs
oda was right about everything, the elite class hunting parties , the mass media control , even the international shadow government filled with literal vampire demons who are trying to achieve immortality . It almost feels too cartoonish that this is our reality
This is an apology to my mom for all the times she came home from a long day of work and my unemployed teenage self had the audacity not to have done the simple tasks she asked of me. I get it now.
Advice for Ages 23-28
This is the stage where life stops responding to motivation and starts responding to structure. You realize that intelligence alone is not enough and passion without direction quickly turns into frustration. This is when excuses begin to expire and responsibility quietly takes over.
You will not feel ready, and waiting to feel ready is how years disappear. Most progress in this phase comes from action taken in uncertainty. The people moving ahead are not braver, they are simply willing to move while confused.
Money becomes loud at this age. Not because you love it, but because life demands it. Your ideas, opinions, and awareness mean little if you cannot sustain yourself. Skills that solve problems and generate income become your true currency.
Friendships start to shift. Some people grow faster, some slower, some not at all. Distance does not always mean hatred. Sometimes it simply means growth in different directions. Learn to let people evolve without resentment.
Romantic choices begin to carry weight. Loneliness can push you into decisions that cost you peace, focus, and years. Choose stability over excitement and clarity over chaos. Love should add structure to your life, not confusion.
Discipline becomes more important than motivation. Motivation is emotional and unreliable. Discipline is quiet and consistent. It is what carries you on days when nothing feels rewarding.
Comparison will tempt you daily. Social media will make it seem like everyone is ahead. What you do not see are debts, support systems, shortcuts, and struggles. Focus on building progress, not competing with illusions.
This is also the age where habits either mature or harden against you. The things you ignore now do not disappear, they compound. Your future self is watching how seriously you treat this phase.
Ages 23-28 are not meant to be glamorous. They are meant to be intentional. What you build here determines how heavy or peaceful your thirties will be.
