After a whirlwind week of travel arrangements I landed at #NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida to meet a #moon crew, their moon spacecraft ... and two other spacecraft besides. Thanks to the huge team of people who got me to the #Artemis2 event.

So, where are they going to find a new crew after they all backed out? 😉

That photo looks like it could have been taken in 1961. THIS is why #NASA shouldn't be putting all their eggs in the #Musk / #SpaceX basket. #Artemis #Artemis1 #Artemis2

Looking at the earth from the ISS: “What you realize is that every single person you know is sustained inside of that green line [our atmosphere] and everything else outside it is completely inhospitable. You don’t see borders, you don’t see religious lines, you don’t see political boundaries; all you see is earth, and you see that we [humans] are way more alike than we are different.”—Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch, who has logged 328 days on the ISS. #artemis2 #NASA

“I think the real thing to celebrate about this mission [first woman, first person of color, first Canadian on a lunar mission] is that we’ve made a decision—as an agency [NASA], as a country—that we’re going to go for all and by all. If we’re not taking contributions from every single person with a talent ready to share it, then we’re not truly answering humanity’s call to explore.”—Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch. #NASA #artemis2
