The Artemis II crew accepted the Bobby and Pete challenge after being challenged by @SecDuffyNASA and completed 50 push-ups and 100 pull-ups in under 10 minutes. Better luck next time, Mr. Secretary! Up next: Zena, Mike, and Jonny take on the challenge aboard the @Space_Station!

A jam-packed week for the Artemis II crew — paying homage to the Apollo 1 crew, going through emergency egress exercises, and checking out the @NASA_Orion spacecraft ahead of fueling in the Multi-Payload Processing Facility at @NASAKennedy.

A minute of chaos in the simulator when a thrust vector malfunction sent us out of control during the perigee raise maneuver. The system handled it as expected, shutdown the engine, and allowed us to safely return to Earth.

Whenever @Wiseman4th or I go visit our dad in Maryland, we walk up the NCR trail and send each other a picture of the 1 mile marker. It’s a tradition. Today, my brother took it to a new level and it feels like he has ventured into the unknown.

A place of honor ✨ To celebrate @NASA’s Artemis II mission patch debut, teams at Kennedy projected the patch design onto the Vehicle Assembly Building overnight.

Whoa, stopped in my tracks. This single photo is right up there with the @NASAHubble deep field photos that have long inspired me. Amazing!
#BlueGhost got her first diamond ring! Captured at our landing site in the Moon’s Mare Crisium around 3:30 am CDT, the photo shows the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth. Hope to have more shots to share soon! #BGM1
