A big NASA nerd who incessantly retweets almost anything space-related...from Artemis and JWST to Sagittarius A* and exoplanets. Ad astra! (I don't read DMs.)

Blue Ghost and the #PyramidOnTheMoon have arrived at the lunar surface! This is the second mission (behind Intuitive Machines' IM-1 over a year ago) to put my name and message on the Moon. Much thanks to @fireflyspace and @goLifeShip for this amazing opportunity! #AdLunam

So with a little creative route planning, some help from Air Traffic Control, and a bit of luck, I've managed to see from the cockpit both SLS rockets for Artemis 1 and Artemis 2 on Pad 39B before launch. 2022 and 2026.

In just two days, four astronauts will launch on a mission that will take them around the Moon. They will travel farther than any humans have in over 50 years. Meet the historic crew of Artemis II in four new blogs from the National Air and Space Museum ⬇️

With Artemis II, we're on the verge of flying humans to the Moon for the first time since 1972--at a time when NASA's funding only accounts for ROUGHLY 0.2% of the federal budget. NASA's funding accounted for 4% of the federal budget during Apollo. What a time to be alive!

TO THE ATTENTION OF PEOPLE WHO DONT FOLLOW SPACEFLIGHT: In 2 days Artemis II will launch 4 astronauts around the moon for the first time in over 5 decades. We’re going back to the moon, and this time the plan is to stay. It’s a pretty big deal

75% of humanity has never seen a human visit another world. For them this is their first Moon mission. Stop for a moment and celebrate that. #ArtemisII --- "Doing Something Again For The First Time" https://t.co/MTruaOu4s1
