TONIGHT at 7:50pm ET: @cantwell.senate.gov will join a live Q&A with the Artemis II astronauts as they finish their record-breaking journey around the moon. Tune in here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3kR...
Right now, the Artemis II crew is farther from Earth than any human being has ever been. Let that sink in.
Did you know? The Artemis II mission will mark the farthest any human has ever traveled from Earth!
Washington state has 41 Artemis suppliers that helped make the mission possible. Proud of every worker and company that contributed to this historic launch.
The world will be watching in awe as the Artemis II crew pushes the limits of what humanity can do by traveling around the moon. This trip lays the groundwork for returning to the Moon's surface and staying there. (1/2)

Congratulations to the crew of Artemis II on the start of their historic journey. Safe travels and happy trails. We look forward to your return in 10 days.
Yesterday’s ruling confirmed what we all knew – Trump’s actions against public broadcasting broke the law. Read @cantwell.senate.gov statement:
Washington state is home to 41+ Artemis suppliers and a $71B aerospace industry. When Artemis II launches, it’s a Washington state win too.
Sen. Cantwell warned this month that the federal counter-drone laser coordination process was broken. Now the Pentagon wants to deploy that same system within the DCA airspace. Read her letter to the DoD here:
This week, four astronauts are expected to travel farther from Earth than any humans in history. Here’s why it matters and how Washington state is supporting the Artemis mission.
