It's really weird to me when I'm out somewhere with my pets and a stranger refers to me as their "mom." Even putting aside the gendered nature of the term, which does make me feel some kind of way. This is a small flying dinosaur with the soul of a petty tyrant and I am his overly indulgent but long-suffering chaperone.

I usually refer to the animal’s guardian as their “human”

Like “aww do you want the treat? You’re not sure? Well I’m sure your human will hold on to it for you in case you change your mind later”

How would that make you feel?

draconym

That's my preferred term. I'm his human and he's my bird. I would also accept aide, person, friend, or advisor.

jewish-rock

what, your bird isn't your advisor??

draconym

I don't recommend taking advice from him, no

Am enthralled by this visualization NASA shared of Artemis II's path through space. The most mathematically accurate little dance. <3

weaselle

imagine. That is literally a really complex math equation, and then hardware built to enact that math equation with EXTREME precision.

Dude, if i was on that thing? i'd be checking the whole time, like, "hey, so, are we still exactly where the math said we should be? going the speed everyone predicted? okay, coolcoolcool. uh. How bout now?"

hold on, hold on. Our earth, okay, is following our sun, right, so we're doing this through space

and they are doing THAT slingshot and return maneuver while everything is doing what the gif shows, only the distances are unimaginably vast. And they are just. In a fancy tin can that we exploded up off the earth into space on the strength of our certainty we understand some very complex physics equations.

it's wild

If you don’t use them at least once a day then what’s the point?

not me sharing the nasa livestream with everyone ive interacted with this weekend.

hey did you hear about artemis ii yeah we're going further into space than we've ever gone before. yeah scientist christina koch fixed the toilet and joked about being a plumber. they laughed about hiding dried eggs around the ship on easter. uh-huh one of the craters is going to be named integrity and another one is going to be called carroll to honour astronaut reid wiseman's wife who passed away. he's wearing his daughters' friendship bracelet. canadian astronaut jeremy hansen got a shoutout for his first time in space and its to go further than anyone has ever gone in space. we're currently seeing parts of the moon with that have never been seen by human eyes. they're going to experience a solar eclipse that nobody else on earth is going to experience. they're taking pictures for all of us. houston sent them a verbal heart as thank you for sharing the views of the moon. just more descriptions of our moon from victor glover. thank you for the descriptions, let us know when you've got more.

"we now have the moon and the earth in window three simultaneously. and the moon is a gibbous and the earth is a crescent. im guessing we'll have two simultaneous crescents as we change our position in the universe..."

eknippp

Some of my favorite quotes from Artemis ii so far:

"Copy. Moon joy."

"I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working."

"Houston, if you could give me about 20 new superlatives in the mission summary for tomorrow that will help out my vocabulary a little bit, that would be great. Thank you."

“If you’ve ever seen the top of the spotlight of the top of the Luxor at night in Vegas, this looks like what it wants to be when it grows up.”

"To all of you down there on Earth... we love you, from the moon."

"We just went sci fi."

"It is so great to see Earth again. To Asia, Africa, and Oceania: we are looking back at you. We hear you can look up and see the moon right now. We see you too."

"We will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other."

“It’s a bright spot on the moon, and we would like to call it Carroll.”

People always wonder why we need to risk sending humans out to do this when we can just send a robot. I think this is a good explanation.

Astronauts are so funny man. Here's just a couple of things I've found hilarious from this past week of space stuff:

It's probably already been spread around here enough already, but in case anyone's missed it; 7 hours after launch, commander Reid Wiseman, dealing with tech issues, uttered the generational quote "I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working."

After fixing the issues that were afflicting the onboard toilet, mission specialist Christina Koch (who has quickly become my favourite of the four) laughingly said “I’m the space plumber, I’m proud to call myself the space plumber.”

On Easter Sunday, the Artemis II crew hosted a makeshift egg hunt, by hiding packets of dehydrated scrambled eggs around their Orion capsule.

The way the crew always makes sure to make it very clear they're in space when doing interviews. From stuff like Wiseman just hanging out floating sideways on screen or Koch letting her hair loose so it can freely span out flowing around her.

While in transit, the crew decided to record a parody of those bad 80s sitcom intros where everyone turns and smiles at the camera.

When the crew reached the furthest point from Earth in the mission, they jokingly clambored over each other in an effort to get to the far side of the capsule, so that they could individually claim to be the furthest person from earth.

At the same time, on the ISS which was at the time on the other side of earth, the 7 astronauts onboard had a light-hearted race to the far side of the station, making jokes about being the furthest humans from Artemis.

On the way back to earth, NASA actually managed to establish an audio call between the crews of the ISS and Artemis II (where they shared the above info), and Koch called one member of the ISS crew, Jessica Meir, her "astro-sister" as the two of them previously spacewalker together in 2019. Meir then responded I'm so happy that we are back in space together, even if we are a few miles apart" (a few here being 230,000).

While Jeremy Hansen was doing an interview, Wiseman and Koch were just in the background swatting the mission mascot (a little moon plush toy named Rise) back and forth between each other.

Apollo 17 vs Artemis II

#excuse me but are you telling me that the Apollo pic is made with the help of the SUN and the Artemis one with the help of the MOON??? #that's actually so poetic i want to cry

@gorandomshesaid wait i need to sit with this one. wait.

Since I just spent the past ten or so days glued to the screen in awe watching the Artemis II mission, I figured an obligatory tribute illustration was in order 🌙

That's us, together.

While we're looking up at the Artemis II astronauts journeying to the Moon, they're looking back home at us.

In this image, Earth peeks through the capsule window, reminding us that a view like this relies on the ingenuity and hard work of countless people back home.
