This is happening T-9 and counting down. It is a gooooooo nasa @youtube @youtubecreators #nasa #goingtothemoom #space #stem #makinghistory
From the final countdown poll minutes before NASA's Artemis II crew launches to the moon: "Artemis 2 crew is go for launch. full send."
Excited to watch the launch of the Artemis II as a space collector. Here are three of my 1 of 1s. 1. Buzz Aldrin’s pass to attend any AL game. 2. Pass to get into the room to fire up Apollo 11. 3....
NASA is extending the hold to give them a little more time to finish some work. So launch will not be when the window opens at 6:24 pm EDT.
NASA has not set a new T-0 but the Artemis II mission will not launch at 6:24 pm ET today. “A little more work” to do.
More people are watching the live broadcast of the Artemis II launch from Europe/Africa than from the US. https://t.co/ji5YAWcT5Y . . https://t.co/t2oGgtcoaK
NASA: "Engineers investigated a sensor on the launch abort system’s attitude control motor controller battery that showed a higher temperature than would be expected. It is believed to be an instrumentation issue and will not affect today’s launch."
NASA reporting an issue with one of the batteries on the Artemis 2 launch abort system; temperature out of range.
A view of Artemis 2 from the KSC press site. Range is go and weather is still 80% favorable for launch during the two-hour window. https://t.co/PdQs3jS1sj
An update from NASA on the flight termination system (FTS) issue: the range is now go for the Artemis 2 launch.
NASA/Artemis update as of 5pmET: Although the countdown to today’s Artemis II launch is continuing to progress, the Eastern Range has identified an issue that they are currently working to resolve related to their communication with the flight termination system. The...
Artemis II update: An issue with the Flight Termination System is being worked, but the countdown is proceeding.
World’s Most Secretive 737 Is Supporting NASA’s Historic Artemis II Launch It is rare to see the unique NT-43A aircraft at all, let alone flying over Florida ahead of the first crewed lunar space mission in decades. https://t.co/8yjZDD36jh
My first time covering a crew walkout in person. It was worth a moment to take in the history. https://t.co/yFAJKAT1Jd
“Artemis II is far more than a flight test” says RAeS President Elect, Prof Malcolm Macdonald. “It’s a demonstration of what happens when we choose to come together." #NASA #Artemis #ArtemisII #avgeek #spaceflight https://t.co/hDB2MAHbL2 https://t.co/vgVszNi6vJ
The crew of Artemis II is just a perfect mix of personalities. It is so easy to like and root for Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy on their grand journey around the Moon. Godspeed, all.
Pretty momentous day when SpaceX files for possibly the largest IPO ever. I remember when VC colleagues used to say this company had stalled at $1B or so of revenues, and that a space taxi company could only be *this* big,...
Five hours before the Artemis 2 launch window opens and lines are already forming… for the NASA merch stand at the press site. https://t.co/G3mNTfUVBT
The chart below is one of the most striking I came across researching my new report on "Defense Innovation" (https://t.co/rRtYxEUTE9). It illustrates the deep dependence of current US air-launched armament supply chains on China. In a world increasingly defined by...
If you’re having problems conceptualizing why going to the moon is such a big deal, here’s your reminder that you can fit every planet in the solar system in between the Earth and the moon. The Artemis II astronauts are...
Best part of these getting used in the middle east is the name “P1-Sun” is a joke about the shape of the interceptor... https://t.co/i5AGrieF4b
We are sending people to the moon for the first time since 1972 TODAY. Don’t let this historic moment pass you by!
Speaking at the Federation Council, Roskosmos chief also confirmed that the post-ISS station would be assembled at ISS out of (New) Node, Science & Power and Airlock modules (as I illustrated back in 2021 ;) Context: https://t.co/wVxTkUEbNa https://t.co/zOHPUfG7hC

According to Roskosmos chief, the "first firing of the methane-oxygen engine (presumably the RD-0177M demonstrator) took place just last week" (which would make it between March 23 and 29). Context: https://t.co/RwOb1eWwT3 https://t.co/lZc1VCXbeJ
I'm proud to launch Sage Road's sixth report, which focuses on "Defense Innovation" (read the Executive Summary here: https://t.co/rRtYxEUTE9). Accelerating global defense spending is poised to run headlong into accelerating innovation with market participants underestimating the breadth of implications to...
People are going to the Moon (well, almost) again tonight. Saying it five times in a row, and each time feels a little better.
In addition to the livestream, NASA is also posting live Artemis II updates here: https://t.co/9gcpALfGtC
Science is transcendent -- true to nature in another galaxy on other side of the observable Universe. Humanity could use some of that transcendence here on Earth...by leaving Earth to go to the Moon. "58 Years After ‘Earthrise,’ NASA’s New...

Excited to see that the Artemis II fueling is going so well, but can't but feel ... https://t.co/gJGnTj2Cc7
I'm genuinely excited to see America headed back to the Moon. But Artemis is a moondoggle and shows we haven't learned the deepest lessons of the Apollo era. Remember that Apollo did *not* result in durable progress in space. It marked...
AMERICAN DRONE DOMINANCE I just visited with Anduril for demonstrations of their drone & counter-drone technologies. Today, the FCC is launching a proceeding to support our domestic drone industry. President Trump has been clear that America’s innovators will lead the way. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/IETZQ5S08H
Imagine the sheer courage of today's Artemis astronauts: testing aspects of the Orion capsule, a new and more distant orbit around the moon, a heat shield that previously disappointed, and...worst of all...an as yet untested. . . um. . ....

Alright, the Artemis II launch is less than a day away. So I want to address some recurring criticisms I've seen: it's too expensive, we need to solve problems down here, it's too dangerous, it does nothing for the greater...

Of over 100 payloads deployed on the Transporter 16 launch, only a few have had no info released about them. Does anyone know who owns the "SM-1.2" satellite?
I am so unbelievably excited for this Artemis launch but I really REALLY wish they weren’t doing it on April fools day… the conspiracies have already started
