Remy the cat sees a duck for the first time 😂

Whoopi Goldberg, Louise Fletcher, F. Murray Abraham, Michelle Yeoh, and Holly Hunter are the other five. Christopher Plummer and Zoe Saldaña are the two with post-Trek awards, though technically Goldberg and Yeoh were on Star Trek both before and after.
Until recently, one of only four actors to appear on Star Trek after winning an Oscar. Now there are six, plus two more who did so after Star Trek.
Listen to NASA employees express their gratitude for internships and inclusion programs that allowed them to pursue their dream jobs--programs the White House wants to defund for being "woke." I know Artemis II hasn't saved the world (or even the US) but it's not smoke and mirrors either. (4/4)
Listen to Christina, thanking the civil rights leaders who got us here, moments after speaking to the president. To Victor, a Christian, eagerly inviting people of other faiths (or none at all!) to share in the joy of what they're doing. (3/4)
Listen to the astronauts who pointedly named their spacecraft "Integrity" and wrote "All" on their mission patch in 2025. Who consistently deflect attention from themselves and instead express their humble gratitude to the thousands of people who got them there. (2/4)
Some quick thoughts: If you saw Artemis II and thought "ugh, more propaganda," I get it. I wish this had happened in a better time. But I encourage you to look closer, listen to the people involved, and see the spirit of NASA that persists in spite of this admin and will outlast it. (1/4)
Kennedy Wesley is playing aggressive, proactive defense, often leaving her line to challenge for the ball in the half space. This is because the midfield is lightweight.
HEAPS of room for Japan to play into.
The worry here is that Emma is fine with that and this is her preferred midfield three.
I'm seeing this all over my timeline, but Data is from the USS Enterprise.
As a trans engineer who left the space industry in order to feel safe enough to transition: oof.

Here's a picture of Christina Koch using hardware I designed the electronics for and wrote the firmware of
NASA astronaut Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot, left, and NASA astronaut Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist are seen sitting on a Navy MH-60 Seahawk from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 on the flight deck of USS John P. Murtha after they and fellow crewmates CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission specialist, and NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander, were extracted from their Orion spacecraft after splashdown, Friday, April 10, 2026, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. NASA’s Artemis II mission took the quartet on a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon and back to Earth. Following a splashdown at 5:07 p.m. PDT (8:07 p.m. EDT), NASA, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Air Force teams are working to bring the Orion spacecraft aboard the recovery ship. Image Credit: NASA/Bill Ingalls
Of all of the post-splashdown photos from the Artemis II mission, this is my favorite.
It captures the best of who we are, the best of who we can be.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.
I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
congratulations to the astronauts who get credit for a moon mission using rocket development work by trans women who had to quit their job and flee the state of florida and can’t celebrate this win with their coworkers

Artemis II, both crew and capsule, all home and fully aboard.
Really emotional. I wish humanity was like this all the time. We could be so awesome.
Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.
Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.
Welcome home, Integrity crew!
These 4 are truly so externally calm and just like chilling, as if they just went on a casual lil yacht trip. And meanwhile we are all at home anxious and emotional about this whole zip around the moon. Its just astounding.
More comfortable hmmm ok I'll give them that LOL I also wouldnt wanna be bounced around in those lil boats
I trust that Nasa and the planners know what they're doing but. Cant one of them wee fast boats just zip them over to the big boat? #Artemis
A black and white photo of Katherine Johnson, the "Hidden Figure" that sent man into space
A photo of Vanessa Wyche, director of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil service member
Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space.
And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history
Things that work: giant rocket, very precise math, orbital mechanics, cameras, iPhones
Things that don’t work: Microsoft Outlook, toilets, sat phones
Truly. Kudos to the entire NASA comms team. Wow.
I too have experienced no joy in establishing a phone signal.
a bullseye splashdown after a trip around the moon, that is ABSURD
Lowkey jarring to have a man doing the NASA narration on the official YouTube after only hearing women when I tune in LOL #Artemis
artemis coming back to earth
my mind is so blown, when humans aren't being the absolute worst we're actually capable of extremely and unbelievably cool shit. one day i hope we lean into that aspect of existence. let's just give it a shot, we might actually fuck around and build something beautiful.
