On July 20, 1969, Astronauts #NeilArmstrong and #BuzzAldrin became the first #Earth humans to step onto the lunar surface. Together they collected 47.5 pounds of lunar material for return to Earth. An estimated 650 million Earth humans watched this historic event. #Apollo11 set the stage for continued exploration of the #Moon.

I am a very proud Canadian today! Jeremy Hansen will be a member of the #ArtemisII team heading to the Moon. It is so important that missions exploring our solar system environment (and eventually, much further) involve international partners, to cement the reality that #space is for us all! #Artemis #Canada #NASA #MoonMissions https://social.beachcom.org/@nasa/110135721657827730

Introducing the #ArtemisII crew (R-L, clockwise): Hansen, Wiseman, Koch, Glover. These astronauts will embark on a journey around the #Moon and lay the groundwork for future missions to the lunar surface and human exploration of #Mars.

December 11, 2022: The #ArtemisI test flight to the #Moon has concluded and has returned to #Earth.

December 11, 1972 (50 years ago): #Apollo17 landed on the lunar surface. The mission brought the #Apollo program to its apex, and it remains the most recent instance of humans setting foot on the Moon.

The #Orion spacecraft has returned to #Earth with a successful splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. This marks the end of its mission and the beginning of new opportunities for space exploration. Congratulations to the team that make up #ArtemisI!

Live view of the #Earth from a distance of 15,000 miles away. #Orion will be home soon.

I never tire of seeing the stunning blue hues of Earth from space. It's a reminder of the incredible beauty of our home planet and our responsibility to protect and take care of it.

“On it … everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of … lived out their lives…”

Flight day 25. We are nearing the end of our journey and will soon be back home, on #Earth.

The #Orion spacecraft will be making a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean near Guadalupe Island at 12:39 PM ET. This will mark the end of #ArtemisI mission to test the spacecraft's capabilities for future deep space exploration.
