Apollo 8: Earthrise - NASA This iconic picture shows Earth peeking out from beyond the lunar surface as the first crewed spacecraft circumnavigated the Moon.

The Apollo 8 Earthrise photo kick-started the environmental movement on Earth. It also portrayed the Moon as dead and uninteresting by contrast with Earth. No-one seems to see the Moon as a fragile (abiotic) ecosystem worthy of protection. #ArtemisII 🧪

Nice pad shot at the end of the presser...

Looking forward to being on several @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social shows tomorrow morning to talk about the historic #ArtemisII mission with Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen onboard. Starting bright and early at 6 am EST with #OntarioMorning

For the first time, a person who is not a white, American man will see the Moon close-up* with their own eyes. I'm eager to see with their vision. Will it be the same or different? Which cultural influences will be uppermost? #ArtemisII

NASA is just days away from historic Artemis II moon launch On Wednesday, the crew of NASA's Artemis II could blast off on a mission around the moon and back. No astronaut has ventured out to the moon since the 1970s.

Have now seen several articles on upcoming #ArtemisII mission, and honestly, I am unsure how people are writing these and editors are letting them through the gate, when they don't even mention how this mission will have the first woman and first PoC travelling to deep space for the first time ever.

We're sending astronauts around the Moon for the first time in 50 years. Come watch with us. 🌕

NASA's Artemis II mission is scheduled to lift off from Kennedy Space Center on April 1. The two-hour launch window starts at 6:24 p.m. EDT (2224 UTC).

Mission Management Team has polled ‘go’ for #ArtemisII launch for April 1st. Not working any issues. Let’s go!

“All indications are we are in excellent shape as we get into count” Charlie Blackwell-Thompson - Launch Director for #ArtemisII

Very excited for the upcoming launch of the NASA Artemis II mission to the Moon!

I had the privilege to interview Jeremy Hansen -he will be the first non-American to go to deep space! Learn about him and the mission in this GO BOLD video.

I'm not excited about the #ArtemisII mission. 😟

Don't get me wrong, I want to get to space more than anyone I know. I DREAM of retiring on a space or Lunar Station...

But right now? I'm more concerned with inflation, our soldiers dying, & the Epstein Files. I could care less about the moon ATM.

And we are "live" in my app now, lets see what the latest update from NASA will bring, in about 20 minutes...

NASA’s Artemis II mission will take an astronaut crew around the Moon – a space policy expert describes the long road to launch Artemis II will test the life control systems on the Orion spacecraft and, if all goes well, take a trip around the Moon.

NASA is preparing to send astronauts around the Moon for the first time in decades (the #ArtemisII launch is planned for another launch attempt April 1), but getting there has been a long road.

Another Artemis II briefing coming up by NASA in about an hour from now:

Who Cares About a Canadian on Artemis II? Asked by a Canadian… - New Space Economy Jeremy Hansen flying on Artemis II is real history. He is set to become the first Canadian assigned to a mission around the Moon , and the mission itself is targeted by NASA for no earlier than April ...

"National pride is not national interest." 🔥 With NASA pausing Gateway and Canada's own lunar rover scrapped, is Jeremy Hansen's Artemis II seat still worth the price tag? Thought-provoking read. #artemis #ArtemisII
