Cats play by nobody’s rules

There is so much story in this image, it’s so affecting. What’s her day brought her? What’s yet to come. And this fleeting moment for her becomes perpetual in an image. Whether or not it really defines the day is part of the tragedy. Incredible.

Most tired: balancing entirely on your face

Absolutely staggering

The Artemis II crew proposed naming a moon crater after Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife Carroll, who lost her life to cancer 😭

The Artemis II crew just gave us an 80's sitcom intro and it's absolutely hilarious! Freeze frames, cheesy grins, theme song energy. These are the four humans who are about to around the Moon. NASA said fun and we are here for it!

Today, the Artemis II crew will fly farther than any human has before.

This is what investing in science and innovation can do.
