Can plants grow on the surface of the moon? 🌛 🚀
@NASA's 2026 Artemis III mission will send humans to the moon with a payload of plant experiments, developed with the help of @lewseylab and @plants4space scientists. latrobe.edu.au/news/articles…

In 1960, David Latimer planted a spiderwort sprout inside of a large glass bottle, added a quarter pint of water, and then sealed it shut. He opened the bottle 12 years later in 1972 to add some water and then sealed it for good. The self-contained ecosystem has flourished for more than 60 years. The garden is a perfectly balanced and self-sufficient ecosystem. The bacteria in the compost eat the dead plants and break down the oxygen that is released by the plants, turning it into carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis. The bottle is essentially a microcosm of Earth.

Many of you are familiar with the famous photo of the astronaut (Bruce McCandless II) floating alone above the Earth, which just happened to be taken 38 years ago today. Bruce took pictures too, and this was his view of the space shuttle Challenger while he was 98m (or so) away.

We couldn’t be happier for the #MarsHelicopter team and our small-but-mighty rotorcraft to receive this award!

This week I had a 3D body scan at NASA to measure exact distances of all extremities. Now they can size a space suit by using those measurements. Can’t wait to start EVA training, but first I’ll have to make it through survival school next week. 😉

Kill the lights – we’re simulating a Moonwalk!
Divers at NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory turned off the lights to simulate what an Artemis astronaut might experience at the lunar south pole - long, dark shadows.

NASA has been choosing people to be astronauts for more than 60 years now. 👩🚀 Do you know how many people have made the cut as @NASA_Astronauts in all that time?

This rock almost looked surprised that I was coming back! Thankfully, I was able to collect another sample here to replace the one I discarded earlier. This may be one of the oldest rocks I sample, so it could help us understand the history of this place. #SamplingMars
