~ 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 🥵

this all feels very #Monsterdon because they do fuck off into the sea; but the monster is in the White House
🗣CHRISTINA, YOU GO GIRL! SASHAY SHANTAY TO THE MEDICAL BAY!
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.

So as of yesterday I am retired, had a 37+ year career working in #NASA human spaceflight, Space Shuttle and then the #Orion spacecraft. I set my retirement date in the hope that the #Artemis 2 mission, Orion’s first crewed flight, would have completed by then but Feb launch was delayed and by “cosmic coincidence” Artemis 2 finally launched yesterday - my final day. Very proud of all my colleagues and all the hard work we’ve done to get to this point. Onward to the #moon - and beyond. Ad astra.

Indeed, the whole of humanity, including the 4.

Wow... Just posted by NASA Artemis: high-resolution video capturing the separation of the Orion Integrity spacecraft’s crew module - carrying the astronauts - from the European service module.
