Congratulations to Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost, and Astrolab for being selected to move forward in developing the #Artemis lunar terrain vehicle!

This Moon rover will allow future astronauts to travel far on the lunar surface: go.nasa.gov/440SeM9

2024 is 25% complete. [274 days remaining]

Incredible stuff. Congrats SpaceX

Less than 20m. 14 km/s. Wow.

A giant leap for the Australian space industry! Thanks to Australian Space Agency and Austrade for their many years of work on this treaty. 👍

Great deep dive by Eric Berger into what really happened during the IM-1 lunar mission.

It’s a shame Intuitive Machines couldn’t share these details as the mission progressed - they would have gained a lot of kudos from being open. Maybe their being a public company precluded it.

Today, for the first time in half a century, America has returned to the Moon 🇺🇸.

On the eighth day of a quarter-million-mile voyage, Intuitive Machines aced the landing of a lifetime.

What a feat for IM, SpaceX & NASA.

What a triumph for humanity.

Odysseus has taken the Moon.

Congrats Intuitive Machines and NASA! First commercial lunar landing and the first for the US in 51 years! 🥳

Congrats Intuitive Machines! Best of luck with the landing tomorrow. 👍

Beautiful shots, including Australia from space.

Good luck with the landing Intuitive Machines!

SpaceX is going to try to launch three of these rockets in an eight-hour period. One has already flown. Two more are on tap this evening. Starship maybe next month.

Daughter: 'Can we change the subject?'
Me: 'Okay, more chores around the house need to be done by you.'

Communication with SLIM was successfully established last night, and operations resumed! Science observations were immediately started with the MBC, and we obtained first light for the 10-band observation. This figure shows the “toy poodle” observed in the multi-band observation.

Will the real #SLIM lander please stand up?

Oh, looks like it has. 👍

The people trying to sow fear and distrust over vague claims of DEI in airline pilots are really choosing the worst place to focus given that there’s strict qualifications in place to get ATP rated and simply not enough ATP rated pilots in the US to cover demand.

But in this…

Another step closer to Mars!

Our space systems team installs the engine on one of our twin spacecraft for NASA and Space Sciences Laboratory's ESCAPADE mission. A delicate and precise operation but they make it look easy.
