Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

Hello. I'm an american Catholic. I got into Catholicism because I thought it offered me an easy and frictionless route to bigotry. Here's why the council of Nicaea means I don't have to listen to the pope and why women should be forced to wear muzzles in public. I am a normal person and not an idiot

Science literacy rates are at an all time low

Nigel Farage is making a habit of becoming really quite unpleasant when he’s asked probing questions by female journalists.

i bet in no small part it's partially due to everything being a goddamn subscription model, even where you live

*raises hand* I'm very much one of many I've seen with a crush on Christina, I've been binging videos of her on YouTube.

Thinking this morning that right-wing WhatsApp groups are finding reasons to tell each other it’s not as bad as it looks, that this is a minor set back, and they will regroup and come back stronger.

We need to remember that a progressive movement’s work is never done.

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend

Yet more horses die at the Grand National, how the fuck are we accepting this sick parade of animal cruelty in 2026?!

Tabby stands on hind legs with one paw outstretched toward a TV displaying a capsule above water.

NASA failed to predict the real splashdown risk.

“Flight control Houston. The mission is over.”

CREW MEMBERS HAVE ALL BEEN EXTRACTED!!!

Flight control broke out into cheers and applause as each one emerged.

Who up gently bobbing in the Pacific

EVERYBODY'S HOME!!!!

god something about the mission commander being last out of the ship really got me. I know it's such a tiny thing but we're just surrounded all the time by leaders who don't give a shit and just like, the symbolism of making sure your people get out first is a lot

The fact they absolutely nailed the entire #Artemis mission to the moon and back to perfection but are now struggling to get them out of the capsule in the water is pretty hilarious actually. 😂 Easier to navigate space than Earth apparently.

Welcome Home, Integrity. For the Orion/Artemis spacecraft mission around the moon and back April 2026.

Moon joy, Earth joy. Welcome home, Integrity! #artemisII #splashdown #houstonintegrity #art

HOUSTON (AP) — Artemis II’s astronauts return to Earth, ending a record-breaking trip around the moon with a splashdown in the Pacific.

these motherfuckers said it would splashdown at 8:07 and it splashed down at 8:07. after going to the fucking moon. fucking a man. god damn

Amaze, amaze, amaze!!

Copy moon AND earth joy. 🌕🌎

And humanity is so cool, look what we can achieve when we unite and believe in science! Welcome home Christina, Jeremy, Rex and Victor. That was absolutely exhilarating to watch. How nice to be watching history that was uplifting and celebratory! #Artemis

What did you notice about watching the #Artemis splashdown? Things like race, gender, age and language were irrelevant. We as a human race were united in anticipation, hope and joy watching the astronauts come home. 🚀🌎 Let that be what you take away. We are ALL human.

Lying in bed watching NASA's YouTube live broadcast with my heart in my throat, sending moon joy and love to my 4 emotional support astronauts. 🚀🌕 I didn't know this was happening a week ago and now I'm fully emotionally invested. #Artemis2

I still can't believe there are actually people who think the moon landing was fake, along with space travel in general. Are you THAT boring that you have to act edgy and contrarian just to get attention? Because that's the only possible explanation, apart from total stupidity.

Iran,

If you’re listening, please publish the unredacted Epstein files.

Thanks

Taylor Jenkins Reid, I hope you're willing to pay my therapy bills because I am not emotionally stable enough for this. I am in SHAMBLES. #Atmosphere

I'm not saying the Artemis crew are basically influencers now, but I just bought Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid because it's centered around two gay female astronauts. I also blame Tik Tok for putting it on my feed. 🚀

As someone with a Scottish nana, this clip is beyond devastating. Plus the second woman dragging her and the news presenter for their faux-feminism that often gets cut out.

A starfield filled with thousands of stars and shining clouds of dust. The Milky Way\u2019s elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms, about halfway from the center. Credit: NASA

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

Presenting the reopening the Strait of Hormuz as a victory is like the Greeks failing to take Troy but celebrating the safe return of their wooden horse

Can I cheer everyone up a bit by pointing out that it's the anniversary of the death of Margaret Thatcher?

Happy dead witch day, girls and gays🥳
