Contact re-established. #artemis2

Artemis 2 view of The Moon & Earth just before communication blackout. Thousands of people came together to make this possible. I hope it’s the start of a new era of space exploration.

It’s still astounding that we are seeing a great side of America With #Artemis2 all while the Imbecile in Chief throws tantrums on TV and social media because he can’t get his own way with Iran.

Who would though. They are using modified GoPros on the #Artemis2 solar arrays and that’s were the live exterior view comes from. Amaze. Amaze. Amaze.

Amazing. Record broken. #Artemis2

Did someone bring a jar of Nutella on #Artemis2. A person of excellent taste of course.

Also this briefing. It’s good to see everything being verified on both sides like this in detail.

The Artemis Astronauts also have to use One Note? Good Lord.

It’s not. He won’t. Let’s not cause panic.

Someone needs to “fuckin’” get rid of the narcissistic psychopath in the White House.

Avatar: Fire and Ash however, was just ok.

I hate to be wrong. But I was wrong about Crimson Desert. It’s great.

Spectacular high-resolution image of our home planet viewed through the Orion Crew Module window by the Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon on Flight Day 2, 3 April 2026 (pic: NASA)

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning.

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

Those poor astronauts on Artemis 2 have to use Microsoft Outlook. That has to be some sort of crime against humanity.

There are now 10 toilets in Space

International Space Station: 4
Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1
Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1
Tiangong Space Station: 2
Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1
Artemis II on way around Moon: 1

This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

Bet NASA doesn’t use Jenkins.

Look what we can do when we aren’t fighting with each other.

LIFTOFF

Loving that we are watching all of the “Go for launch” confirmations in Mission Control. We are go for launch.

This is what it must felt like when the Apollo missions were launching. Some great coverage on the NASA streams. #artemis2

Amaze amaze amaze.

Both the Supergirl and Master of the Universe trailers were very good.

Spec driven development is the new development (this week anyway). GitHub’s spec kit is very useful.

Was so good. I want my very own Rocky friend.

Saw “Project Hail Mary” yesterday. My best friend is now a rock named Gibraltar, who I met while cruising for rocks. They are already inspiring me and improving my focus.

A rock will 10x you. Go meet your rock 🪨.

Just hooked a spontaneous trip to Toronto. Was going to go next year but why wait.

Watching the Louis Theroux documentary Manosphere. If being “Masculine” or a “real man” means being even an iota like these cretins, I’m none of those things. Absolute monsters.

Project Hail Mary was AMAZING.

Tesco on a Sunday. Nightmare. Yet I still do it.
