If I saw just this picture it would be easy to say it was made in Hollywood, but after having watched #Artemis -1 launch & perform its' test flight so well, so far....it makes these images even more astounding! Godspeed #Artemis -1, looking forward to your splashdown on Sunday!

So far from home, farthest a spacecraft built for humans has ever travelled from our home planet. Orion Spacecraft #Artemis -1 today at nearly 270,000 miles from #Earth 1/2 way through the mission timeline. Splashdown targeted for 11 Dec.

Epic #selfie by #Artemis -1

Just in case you missed it live early Wed AM. #Artemis -1 'slipping the surly bonds of earth'

As Orion Spacecraft begins the #Artemis I mission to the Moon, the spacecraft captured these stunning views of our home planet.

Nearly 50 years elapsed between these two photos. #WeAreGoing !!!

↘️ #Artemis I 1:47 a.m. ET today

And this is what 8.8 million pounds of #Artemis -1 thrust to escape Earth sounds like!

Dawn of a new era in Space! Carrying the dreams of thousands aloft to bring the Moon back within reach! Godspeed #Artemis -1!

At <5 hours to Launch of #Artemis -1, No, this isn't NASA Astronauts rushing to get onboard, but a pic from earlier this week when we saw this beautiful NASA_SLS on the launch pad. Current & future Astronauts out there anxiously awaiting our first #Artemis flight on @NASA TV!

We're targeting Sat, Sept 3 at 2:17 PM ET for our next #Artemis I launch attempt. Our teams met today to review the data and understand the issues we experienced. Continuing to encourage them to take this process one step at a time, follow the data, and learn about the vehicle.

Safety is always first. Following today's #Artemis I launch attempt, NASA Artemis teams are working through an issue with engine number 3, and expect to give a news briefing later today. Stay tuned for broadcast details. nasa.gov/live

Launch count for #Artemis -1 getting short with many more final checks to go on an amazingly beautiful NASA's Kennedy Space Center morning.

We are Ready!

The excitement of Spaceflight is contagious!

With two of them on the side of the NASA_SLS rocket, combined with the thrust of the 4 RS-25 engines we can’t wait to hear and feel #Artemis -1 liftoff!

Now 4 days and a wake-up to the launch of #Artemis -1 NASA_SLS & Orion Spacecraft spacecraft from NASA's Kennedy Space Center . Great video overview by NASA Artemis with the details of the mission. Once this mission is completed, next up is NASA Astronauts onboard #Artemis -II to the #moon !
