Excited to see the #ArtemisII crew home. But starting & stopping are the hardest feats in all of human space exploration. (Take a look at the Artemis I heat shield post flight). I held my breath for the launch and I’ll do so again for entry tonight. Safe flight #Artemis. Everything crossed for you.
How very beautiful are these? Victor Glover was right. Together on that fragile blue globe we are but one thing. Let’s act accordingly. #Artemis2 #Artemis
Thanks Buddy. So pleased to hear it.
What a wonderful night. Worth staying up for all the way to AOS. Massive congrats to the whole #ArtemisII team. Safe journey home. #NASA #Artemis
Want to go to bed. But am glued to this lunar fly-by! Promised myself I wouldn’t stick around for LOS and reacquisition but suspect I’m gonna break that. So, so cool. #NASA #ArtemisII #AmazeAmazeAmaze
And of course out of choice rather than obligation.
And there it is. #ArtemisII breaks Apollo 13’s distance record! 👏👏👏
"Watching the Artemis crew on their way around the moon now is emotional. I am – still – filled with longing that it was me in that capsule and sadness that it never will be. But more than that, I marvel at it"
Some personal reflections...

Little piece from me about #Artemis for @theobserveruk.bsky.social and a comedy photo of me as an aerospace medicine intern at Kennedy Space Center on my first visit to The Cape in 1998. #nasa #Artemis2
Flight day 4. Well over halfway now. I’ve spent so long interviewing NASA’s people, past and present, from Apollo to Shuttle and now Artemis, trying to understand how they do what they do. I’ve always found them to be an impressive team. But this, this is just mesmerising! #Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA
Earth’s gravity is still clawing at it. It’s effectively coasting uphill on the impulse that the TLI burn gave it.
More than 100,000 miles from Earth. Slowing down but still travelling at around 3600mph now. This is the view from the office window. #Artemis #Artemis2
If you’re loving the #Artemis2 coverage then you’ll *love* this. Think of it as the #Artemis program’s prequel. #16Sunsets

Glorious to see #Artemis2 safely aloft. What an achievement. Wish I’d been there to see it. This was my last trip out, waiting to watch my buddy Mike Barratt to go with Crew 8 in 2024. I miss The Cape! Congrats to all at #NASA. Wonderful day.
So cool indeed.
Here comes the poll at LCC Kennedy
🙏 buddy
Fingers crossed it goes, for a bit of Easter magic for your grandson.
