I wanted to view the #Artemis mission data at a glance in an accessible way. So I created myself a dashboard. Including, among other things, a sonified live flight path. Vibecoded this within 2 hours so its likely full of bugs, also a lot of the live data from Nasa is not live yet. If you want, you can check it out here.

Watch live: #Artemis II launch
The first launch opportunity for Artemis II, the first mission to bring astronauts towards the #Moon in over 50 years, is set for 1 April at 18:24 local time (2 April at 00:24 CEST).
Tune in from one hour before launch at 22:24 BST / 23:24 CEST on #ESA Web TV to watch the launch.

Holy shit you guys we just watched #Artemis go from the plane
(Edit: I posted videos in the replies, if that's of interest❤️)

The crew just named a crater of the Moon "Carroll", the name of the deceased spouse of one of the 4 astronauts (Reid Wiseman). They hugged and cried live. 😭 
A big beauty of the #Artemis coverage is in how real the people sound. The bpublic doesn't get an infinitely polished, ever censored, corporate glitzy moon promo. We hear the real tears, the real excitement in the mission control and the astronauts voices, we hear the hesitations, misunderstandings, silly jokes. This is what makes it real. This is what makes you want to be there.

~ 4-5 hours left before the crew of #Orion touches down on Earth again! 🚀
One of the more dangerous parts of the mission, on re-entry the heat shield stands temperatures about half that of the surface of our sun 🥵
They keep saying that the weather at the splashdown site is "go" – but I don't think they've got any other options.
"No, Integrity, it's a bit rainy. Better go around and try again in an hour.
i am pleased that watching the #artemis mission can give everyone else also watching a break from the "regular news", which, to put it quite gently
everyone needs a fucking break from
thank you space nerds, for doing super cool space shit! I wish i could play too
We pack a handful of folks into a tin can loaded with explosives. Their computers are running Windows and the ship's toilet is malfunctioning. We hurl them at a distant rock. Everything about where they are is trying to kill them. And it is sublimely beautiful, one of the greatest things we’ve done as a species. #Artemis
“Houston is placing a shore to ship call. Do you accept the charges?”
Yay they are in contact after blackout. Always scary to me.
The astros obviously saw a giant cat back-side of the moon (waiting for mice to go for the cheese, doubtless) and NASA is not telling us.
Built an Artemis II MOC today 🛰️

By now, you have seen the Earth image by the #Artemis crew at least a hundred times. In this annotated version, several #optics effects are highlighted. It also shows how fragile planet #Earth is, with a super thin #atmosphere protecting us from the harsh vacuum of space.
Let's protect it.

Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft after completing the translunar injection burn. There are two auroras (top right & bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun.

Yet another #Artemis II article (from a French press agency, no less) ignoring that propulsion, power, & life support to the Orion capsule are provided by ESA’s European Service Module.
Built in Bremen by Airbus, with parts from all over Europe, e.g. solar wings made in Leiden.
Also no mention of the fact that the ESM’s for the Moon-landing Artemis IV & V missions are to be supplied as part of ESA’s contribution to the Lunar Gateway.
Which NASA cancelled last week.

It’s humanity’s first flight to the #moon since 1972.
In a throwback to Apollo, NASA’s #ArtemisII mission will send 4 astronauts on a lunar fly-around. They’ll hurtle several thousand miles beyond the moon, hang a U-turn & then come straight back. No circling around the moon, no stopping for a moonwalk — just a quick out-&-back lasting less than 10 days.

Watching the Artemis II launch and won’t lie. Trying to not remember my 3rd grade class watching Challenger.
Who else is watching the Artemis II launch tonight?
It never gets old seeing what humanity can do with math and science while we continue to battle against our base instincts down here on Earth.
The crew of Apollo 17 took this photo 19,473 days ago.
If all goes well, we should have a new one in six days' time.
