I am a very proud Canadian today! Jeremy Hansen will be a member of the #ArtemisII team heading to the Moon. It is so important that missions exploring our solar system environment (and eventually, much further) involve international partners, to cement the reality that #space is for us all! #Artemis #Canada #NASA #MoonMissions https://social.beachcom.org/@nasa/110135721657827730

#Artemis will enable astronauts to discover new areas of the #Moon's surface. In order to ensure safety for astronauts during trips to the Moon, #Mars and beyond, it's crucial that we comprehend the impact of space travel on human physiology: https://www.nasa.gov/hrp/bodyinspace

The #ArtemisIII mission, set for 2025, will be humanity's first time back on the lunar surface in over half a century. This mission will make history by sending the first people to explore the area near the South Pole of the #Moon.

On July 20, 1969, Astronauts #NeilArmstrong and #BuzzAldrin became the first #Earth humans to step onto the lunar surface. Together they collected 47.5 pounds of lunar material for return to Earth. An estimated 650 million Earth humans watched this historic event. #Apollo11 set the stage for continued exploration of the #Moon.

“That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
This moment marked a turning point in history.
#Apollo11 was the #Apollo program mission that landed the first #Earth humans on the #Moon.

December 11, 2022: The #ArtemisI test flight to the #Moon has concluded and has returned to #Earth.
December 11, 1972 (50 years ago): #Apollo17 landed on the lunar surface. The mission brought the #Apollo program to its apex, and it remains the most recent instance of humans setting foot on the Moon.

Still have trouble accepting that #Artemis might actually happen
#NASA has just spent so long promising crewed missions anywhere but low Earth orbit and it's always been ten, twenty years in the future
But I'm genuinely getting my hopes up

Live view of the #Earth from a distance of 15,000 miles away. #Orion will be home soon.
I never tire of seeing the stunning blue hues of Earth from space. It's a reminder of the incredible beauty of our home planet and our responsibility to protect and take care of it.

Flight day 25. We are nearing the end of our journey and will soon be back home, on #Earth.
The #Orion spacecraft will be making a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean near Guadalupe Island at 12:39 PM ET. This will mark the end of #ArtemisI mission to test the spacecraft's capabilities for future deep space exploration.

Beautiful views…
On November 20, 2022, the fifth day of the 25.5-day #ArtemisI mission, a camera mounted on the tip of one of #Orion’s solar array wings captured these images of the spacecraft and the #Moon (#Earth’s moon) as it continued to grow nearer to our lunar neighbor.
