This is a great explanation of the Artemis program @NASA_Astronauts will use for the Moon & beyond. @NASA put some really complex ideas into a format that even kids (or us adults that like cartoons) can understand. How We Are Going to the Moon - 4K youtube.com/_T8cn2J13-4
"It was surreal to see the full scale @Space_Station mockup in the Neutral Buoyancy Lab on my first spacewalk training session and experience the “fish bowl effect” created by our spacesuit helmet visor. It feels like you’re in an aquarium."-@Astro_Woodygo.nasa.gov/36HVwFq
Our #NewAstronauts have officially graduated! 👨🎓👩🚀 From @space_station system training and learning Russian to wilderness survival and learning how to do a spacewalk, this team can do it all. Check out b-roll from their training here: archive.org/details/Astronau…
This flight test will pave the way for crewed #Starliner missions to the @Space_Station as part of our program.
Live launch coverage begins at 5:30 a.m. ET: nasa.gov/live
I'm privileged to consider this spectacular group of people, my family. We've grown, bonded through challenges, learned from our failures, and leaned on each other during tough times. We look forward to our next steps as we join the @NASA_Astronauts Corps.
After over 2 years of multi-disciplinary training & teamwork, our astronaut candidates are graduating to full astronaut status! On Jan. 10, watch as we celebrate their achievement & discuss possible future destinations -- to the Moon with #Artemis or Mars! go.nasa.gov/2M8gNzS
Great learning today getting to experience 4.5 G’s through the chest - a loading unique to space vehicles. Arms get heavy and breathing labored, important effects that can influence cockpit design.
Surveying torture chamber of the day at Wright-Patterson AFB with @Astro_Jenni & @Astro_Woody. Simulating G forces on capsule return from space. Different than fighter jets as force pushes into chest in a capsule. In jets it’s from head-feet. @csa_asc
Finished NBL qual w@lunarloral, lots of training ahead & while waiting for msn assignment lucky that I get to work@Commercial_Crew doing testing for @SpaceX & @BoeingSpace to launch vehicles to @Space_Station theatlantic.com/science/arch…
Spacewalkers @Astro_Christina and @Astro_Jessica are outside in the vacuum of space getting their tools ready to replace a failed power controller that collects and distributes solar power to station systems. #AskNASA | nasa.gov/live
During a recent three-ship formation training flight, @Astro_FarmerBob and I moved out of position briefly to capture this shot of @Astro_illini and @VicGlover flying over the SLS Pathfinder at @NASAStennis. Zoom in to see it!
NASA cleared a milestone in preparation for Green Run testing of its Space Launch System (SLS) core stage with an Aug. 23/24 lift and installation of the core stage pathfinder simulator onto the B-2 Test Stand at Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Miss.

Formation flights in @NASA T38's are a big step up in difficulty. As always, @Astro_FarmerBob was an amazing instructor as we joined our classmates @Astro_Raja, @Astro_Jenni, Jessica Watkins, and @Astro_Kutryk for super valuable afternoon of training.
50 years after his historic flight, Apollo 11 astronaut @AstroMCollins meets with our newest astronaut candidates from the class of 2017. They will be part of the team returning to the moon on #Artemis missions. Passing on wisdom from one generation of explorers to the next👨🚀🚀🌝
Just watched the @apollo11movie and was blown away by what @NASA accomplished 50 years ago. Now we're going back to the Moon to stay, setting up a proving ground for getting humans to Mars.
I wasn't alive to watch @NASA_Astronauts Armstrong, Collins, and Aldrin launch on their historic journey, but they sure inspired me - and my entire generation.
3, 2, 1 – Blast off!👨🚀🌙🚀
#OTD 50 years ago, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin left the planet to serve as the prime crew of the historic #Apollo11 lunar landing mission. #Apollo50th
