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 🌟

Exploring space may seem like a child’s wildest dream, but for many astronauts, that dream starts in the classroom.
@AstroAcaba may be @NASA’s newly named Chief Astronaut and a veteran of 3 space flights, but before that, he was a teacher… and a student.
