Welcome home, Orion!
I will never get over how pretty is the sight of three main chutes pulling a capsule to a gentle splashdown. It's just so elegantly simple and comforting to see.
Bullseye. Right down the slot.
We last landed on the Moon 50 years ago today: Apollo 17 on Dec. 11, 1972. And now we're going back.

Hooman pipples are amazing.

Dr Sarah Webbβs enthusiasm for her science of choice is so contagious and so lovely. Whenever sheβs being interviewed I just delight in her enjoyment of the conversation. #NASA #ArtemisOne

We launched Alan Shepard into suborbital space in 1961 on a Redstone rocket, which was designed to be a ballistic missile and used for some of our earliest A-bomb tests.
Later, as commander of Apollo 14, he was launched into space again, this time on a Saturn V, which was as big as the Fletcher-class destroyer he had served on in World War II and whose lead designer was the father of the German V-2 rocket.
Now this. Swords into ploughshares. #NASA #ArtemisOne π πΊπΈ

Solar arrays deployed!
I was at the launch of Apollo 11 and never thought I'd see a beast like the Saturn V again. But I'm here to tell you, the SLS is a beast of all beasts.
I know exactly what the people at that launch were experiencing. Your sternum vibrates. The ground beneath your feet, too. The sound is just indescribable, a growl and a roar together. You can hear the fire. The air fills with birds.
Unbelievable power. There's nothing like it.
