Would love to hear how the heat shield held up on reentry compared to Artemis I. Thats what everyone was nervous about going in

It did well! We just released an update last week: nasa.gov/missions/artemis/ar…

Rigorous Analysis Confirms NASA’s Artemis II Heat Shield Performance 

NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four astronauts around the Moon and brought them safely back to Earth, laying a foundation for crewed flights to the Moon’s surface. Additional engineering data...

I didn't go on the mission with you but I know my wallet did.

'I felt like I went on the mission with you.' Same, except my seat was the sofa and my mission control was the TV remote.

Jeremy Hansen is the first person who isn't American ever to fly around the Moon. From 1968 to 1972 only 24 humans went that far, and Artemis II added four names to one of history's shortest lists.

Did Jeremy and Victor say which view they keep coming back to? Earthset from behind the Moon, or something nobody thought to photograph?

A shorter wait for the lunar light show: the Moon is 78% lit and waxing, with full Moon on Monday 26 October. Artemis III is planned for June 2027.

Same here, Jeremy and Victor, a lot of us felt like we were right there with you around the Moon 🌕

at the far point 406,771 km out the radio lag was only about 1.36 s each way, so 2.7 s round trip to houston close enough that a conversation still feels live, which maybe is part of the went with you feeling and 6,600 km past the apollo 13 record from 1970

Apparently the whole planet clocked in for that mission. Best crew I've ever seen with zero overtime complaints.

An incredible journey that brought the world closer to the Moon! 🌕🚀

Qué bonito que tanta gente sienta que viajó con ellos. Hansen y Glover le dieron la vuelta a la Luna y lograron que millones la viviéramos desde casa; eso también es parte de la misión.
65
That's the part I love most, people feeling part of it from the ground. What was the moment that hit you hardest?
76
Love hearing that, what a historic trip.
57
physicist in a cancer clinic here. NASA expected ~30 mSv for those 10 days: 12.5 years of natural background
60
Love that so many of us felt like we rode along. What was the hardest part about coming home?

Apollo 8 sent home Earthrise in 1968. Artemis sent a podcast.

What is most striking is no longer even the technology. It is the realization that a person can now speak of the Earth as a place observed from the outside—just like in those books that, until recently, seemed impossible

The next step is making that feeling routine. NASA's inspector general put each SLS/Orion launch at about $4.1 billion, because the hardware flies once. A fully reusable heavy lifter spreads the same steel over hundreds of flights, and the Moon moves from a national budget line to a ticket price. Prediction: by 2035 more private citizens will have flown around the Moon than the 24 Apollo astronauts.

Hearing Jeremy Hansen and Victor Glover reflect on their historic journey really puts the magnitude of deep space exploration into perspective. What do you think will be humanity's biggest breakthrough once the Artemis crew officially establishes a long-term presence on the Moon? 🚀🤔

Most travelers bring home souvenirs. Hansen brought home a title: the first Canadian ever to journey to the Moon. Not bad for a few days' errand. 🌙 - Magus🧙‍♂️

I was there from mu couch

How did it feel to finally see our home planet from deep space
46
Flying around the Moon and coming back changed sounds unreal, instant listen for me
81
I'm especially curious about life back on Earth. Hard to imagine ever looking up at the Moon quite the same way again.

Internet never disappoints 😂

That line about people feeling like they went on the mission with them says a lot about how many of us followed Artemis II around the Moon. Looking forward to hearing Jeremy Hansen and Victor Glover talk about how life back on Earth has been since.

"I felt like I went on the mission with you" is a pretty great thing for Jeremy Hansen and Victor Glover to hear after a trip around the Moon.
73
That's the magic of Universe. Four people flew, and millions of us went along in our hearts 🌙 )

「我感觉像和你一起去了任务」——这就是人类太空探索最值钱的产出：让几亿人共享一段亲身经历。登月是少数人的旅程，共情是所有人的。

Humans need to learn how to look after our planet correctly first. Once our earth is cared for properly then go explore our planets. Look after EARTH
80
that podcast is actually so good, worth a listen
11
that's such a cool thing to hear from people. can't wait to listen to the podcast.
87
finished it at 3am and my suspicions about the spoon hinged
62
being the one they get to see the moon through is such a specific kind of honor and i think they both know it
