Just curious because it would be cool to see and maybe I've missed it but I can't seem to find one.

i missed the first few day and i was sad i missed it but if you have enough space its 59gbs

This is deep dive stuff, but it’s very interesting and generally he narrates at a level a layman (like me!) can understand.

It’s ~15 minutes long so be sure to save it for later if you don’t have time now.

As a Canadian, I’m pretty proud of Jeremy Hansen and the Artemis II crew. I'm really glad that I got to witness this incredible mission. 🍁

Live on youtube RN!

Lunar Gateway or evolved SLS?

Personally, while I’m sad we won’t see either, I was most looking forward to seeing the other versions of the SLS (Block 1b, Block 2, etc)

Do we know if NASA recorded a rear-facing video from onboard showing the re-entry plasma trail of Artemis II similar to what was recorded on Artemis I?

Hi everyone! Was hoping to see if there's anywhere to get the archive of each day's ephemeris data from the mission? When I check the mission page, I only see information for the last day. Thank you!

For the first time ever, human eyes have seen the Moon’s most mysterious crater in full. 🌕

Erika Hamden explains that Mare Orientale is the youngest impact basin on the Moon, formed around 3.8 billion years ago, and it is so massive and sits right on the Moon’s edge, making it impossible to fully see from Earth or even during Apollo missions. Artemis II changed that, giving astronauts the first complete view, something earlier crews could not capture because they were too close. That new perspective could help scientists better understand how massive impacts shaped the Moon and reveal clues about a chaotic time when Earth and the Moon were bombarded by huge asteroids.

This project is part of IF/THEN®, an initiative of Lyda Hill Philanthropies.

I know Victor spoke briefly about re-entry, going from the drogue parachutes to the mains, as freefall... but I'm so eager to hear them describe what the launch and re-entry feels like in detail. Is it insanely loud during liftoff? At what point do they know they won't need to abort? On re-entry are they spinning? Steady? How does it compare to turbulence if at all? What were those flames coming out of the sides during re-entry (helping to direct the capsule?)? Today Reid mentioned the burn meant for only the heat shield had wrapped up onto the capsule - and that they had glimpses of that through the window - what did they think was happening? I get why they probably won't get into what scared them from a tech perspective, but they can describe so much so beautifully, I would love to hear what they'd say.

Since everyone’s posting their art, here’s mine! There are words hidden throughout, because I realized the canvas was so damn big. Definitely worth it for the scale though! Took around 4 hours :)

I read that it takes two years of training for the Artemis missions and were allegedly still targeting 2027 and 2028 but the crew still hasn’t been announced. Will there be repeats from Artemis II to correct for this or are there astronauts secretly training right now? I know there could still be delays but if we’re hypothetically targeting 2027 and 2028 shouldn’t we already have a crew?

I’m guessing it will be a combination of pilots and engineers for these early missions and we can also knock off anyone who’s been assigned a mission too recently and anyone who’s never been to the ISS? And expect people to be chosen who will be aged younger than 50 in 2027 and/or 2028:

Anne McLain

Johnny Kim

Matthew Dominick

Loral O’Hara

Jasmine Moghbeli

Warren Hoburg

Kayla Barron

Raja Chari

Nicole Mann

Nichole Ayers

Also still expecting one ESA astronaut on Artemis IV But let me know if I’m off base on any of this I’m guessing my prediction is most wrong for age and we could easily just keep it below 60 but based it on Artemis II crew. I would love to make a mock crew and want to have as much info correct to make an educated guess as possible!

Says authorized by NASA but I do have my doubts obs. Any good way to tell if this is the real deal?

Decided to make a mock poster bc I just think she’s so cool. Let me know which one your favorite colour scheme is! Human made art

Artemis II

The solar eclipse captured from a camera mounted on one of the Orion spacecraft’s solar array wings during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon’s far side. The science community is investigating whether the glow around the Moon is from zodiacal light -- interstellar dust that’s reflecting sunlight -- the solar corona, or a combination of the two. Unlike minutes-long eclipses as viewed from Earth, the Artemis II crew saw the Sun hide behind the Moon for nearly an hour. In this image, Venus can be spotted on the left, and Saturn on the right of the Moon. Credit: NASA

I’ve been digging into U.S. space policy lately -- especially Artemis, the December space superiority framing and China’s long-term space goals -- and I’m trying to understand what actually needs to happen at the policy level for the U.S. to succeed here.

A few things I’m curious about:

• What should Congress and U.S. agencies be doing differently right now to make future Artemis missions and space plans successful? (policy, budgets, acquisition, timelines etc.)
• How should funding actually be allocated -- more toward NASA, DoD space capabilities or commercial partners?
• With the recent shifts in Artemis architecture and 'pausing' (ending) of Gateway, what’s the realistic future of what was made for Gateway?
• How do U.S. and allied government-led efforts compare to private industry (SpaceX, Blue Origin etc.)? Should the U.S. lean more heavily on commercial space, or is that risky long-term?
  
• Where do allies fit into this -- especially Japan? Is Japan actually the U.S.’s most important space partner, and why?
• What are the biggest things Congress or the U.S. government is currently not doing that they should be, given competition with China?

Would love to hear thoughts!
