This is your #Artemis Moon Minute!
The Artemis II astronauts got their first look of the @NASA_Orion spacecraft that they will fly around the Moon. Training continues for the crew at @NASA_Johnson’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory to prepare for splashdown. Back at Kennedy, the crew transport vehicles have arrived for @NASAGroundSys teams to begin training to drive the astronauts on their final earth-bound journey before boarding the @NASA_SLS rocket.

🌟 You'll want to watch this window into history. In a new video and @JewishJournal column, @DrBenChavis and former Sen. @JoeLiberman connect the dots between the historic #MarchOnWashington and the mission of #NoLabels, igniting hope for a more harmonious America. Be inspired 🌟

Congrats on a great career Drew. – at Virginia, USA
NASA astronaut and geophysicist Drew Feustel a veteran of three space missions and nine spacewalks, who also held key leadership positions within the Astronaut Office at Johnson Space Center in Houston, is leaving the agency after 23 years.
"I am thankful for the opportunity to work among, and learn from, the exceptional and highly skilled professionals that enable human spaceflight. As a child I was inspired by early space pioneers and I always believed that one day I would become an astronaut and explore space. I hope that my story serves to inspire others to pursue their own goals and aspirations." - Drew Feustel go.nasa.gov/44KqElL
