And Splashdown! The Orion spacecraft is home after its 1.4 million mile journey through space.

As Orion Spacecraft prepared to return to Earth some of our team took a moment to send a thank you note to space. Thank you to the ARCHIVED: NASA_SLS, ARCHIVED: NASA's Exploration Ground Systems, and @ESA teams and contractors in all 50 states and 10 European countries for sending us on this fantastic journey!

We're back after a 1.4 million mile journey around the Moon.

Orion all cozy in its nest

Engineers like Jason Hutt work closely with ARCHIVED NASA Astronauts to design the controls and accommodations of Orion Spacecraft. Focusing on crew safety and mission success is what we do on #Artemis!

Please help! The Pasadena (near Houston, TX) Animal Shelter was hit by a tornado today! We are in desperate need of fosters, etc. Please please please share and if you can hold a dog or 5 (garage, spare room, whatever) PLEASE help us! Sophie Vershbow darth™ WeRateDogs Thoughts of Dog

Was just at the shelter and they are not releasing dogs for fostering until the morning.

GO BIRDS

Go birds! Good omen.

#GoBirds

Apoplectic

It was a treat to be able to consult on this Minecraft expansion for Orion and help the Minecraft team with some activities that are representative of what crew will need to do on Artemis II & beyond.

Get ready – on April 3 NASA will announce the first #Artemis astronauts who will orbit the Moon. These four star-sailors will fly on Artemis II, representing the next giant leap toward long-term exploration and discovery on the Moon: go.nasa.gov/3LvsGQ3
