World record! With this successful launch, there are now 19 people orbiting Earth. And to be clear, everybody has a ride home. whoisinspace.com NASA Don Pettit

Visiting the NASA's Exploration Ground Systems Archived teams, celebrating the recent SpaceX Starship flight test, and reflecting on the Artemis I mission two years ago — all in a week’s work when you are the #Artemis II crew.

The rocket that will propel four astronauts to the Moon is coming together! NASA's Exploration Ground Systems Archived teams have recently stacked a segment of the NASA_SLS solid rocket boosters for the Artemis II mission. Launch is targeted for early next year.

From a ‘97 grad to RPI’s incoming class of 2029, I’m fired up to welcome the Early Decision and Early Action students who have decided they want to change the world. GO RED! #RPI2029

Whoa, stopped in my tracks. This single photo is right up there with the Hubble deep field photos that have long inspired me. Amazing!

In our sim this morning, we were fleeing Earth headed to the Moon at an incredible speed….the numbers always amaze me.

Rocket? Stacking. Crew training? Underway. Mission patch? Ready to go. ✅ The Artemis II mission will embark on its journey around the Moon early 2026 — and now we’ve got the mission patch to mark the occasion.

If I could go back and tell myself as a kid…….❤️

Whenever Bill Wiseman 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.

18 seconds of peace….wondering about the feelings we will experience 191,000 miles from home.

27 seconds of peace, reorienting for our perigee raise maneuver soon after launch.

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.

Another productive week in the books: The Artemis II astronauts have been hard at work inside the Orion Spacecraft simulator, practicing every step of their upcoming voyage around the Moon with the mission control team.

The sound of the action on this monster makes me smile.

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 Orion Spacecraft spacecraft ahead of fueling in the Multi-Payload Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

A lot of activity last week for the Artemis II crew—a launch and entry spacesuit fit check, translunar injection burn simulation, and communications system checkouts!

We have an exciting opportunity for anyone who would like to contribute to our NASA Artemis II mission around the Moon! We need a zero gravity indicator to join us aboard the Orion Spacecraft spacecraft. Submit your ideas for our small, plush companion: freelancer.com/moon-mascot
