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.

Earthset

The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon. The Apollo 8 mission was the first crewed spacecraft to circumnavigate the Moon.

For more imagery from the mission, visit our Artemis II Multimedia Page.

times i cried during nasa artemis ii flyby stream:

dedication of the crater to carroll

the messy floating group hug after the dedication to carroll

the nutella flying by (it was a cry laugh but did make me emotional because it was just so human and ridiculous)

reid (?) saying hello to his kids and making heart hands and showing off his bracelet and mission control saying "copy heart, copy bracelet"

christina was talking about seeing the moon during her status report (?) and she said that she had a moment where she realized that it was a real place that actually exists and not just a poster, and that she imagined herself walking on the surface

again when victor's report said the same thing

"copy, full moon joy"

the announcement of beating the apollo record and the statements/speeches to follow, specifically when they said they wanted to inspire the next generation to beat their record soon

"we will continue our journey even further into space before Mother Earth succeeds in pulling us back to everything that we hold dear" ohhhh man

every time the crew gave an exciting detail in their reports and the science team at mission control nerded out. reminded me of those deep sea diving videos where marine biologists laugh at creatures they've never seen before

victor saying "hey babe" when he was told his wife was visiting in the viewing bay, hearing christina laugh in the background, and then him adding "i love you from the moon"

all of the clear & respectful communication about the light shade on the window. idk why it got me but it did. kind professionalism is crazy

pre-blackout goodbyes....real tears

"as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we’re still going to feel your love from Earth. and to all of you down there on Earth and around Earth, we love you, from the Moon." "when we burned this burn from the Moon, i said that we do not leave Earth, but we choose it. and that is always true. we will always choose Earth. we will always choose each other." come ONNNNN #hopecore #girlwhoisgoingtobeokay

the return speeches as well

"integrity, from Earth, our single system, fragile and interconnected, we copy. those of us that can are looking back."

seeing the integrity, the moon, and the earth all together in one shot. i took like 30 screenshots

mission control literally jumping up and down over impact flares

everything about the eclipse shot including the radio-in saying it was too incredible to capture on camera and "we're going true sci-fi"

everything else

my coworker in her 70s looking over my shoulder every 20 minutes and gasping and saying "that's just so incredible......i hope my grandkids are seeing this"

copy love copy bracelet is my favorite i don't think i'll ever lose that one

Welcome to the Far Side of the Moon

A crescent Earth sets behind the Moon.

On April 6, 2026, the Artemis II astronauts flew around the Moon, observing the far side – which we never see on Earth thanks to tidal locking – with their own eyes and with cameras.

See more of the Moon:

A close view of the Moon. Jagged circles of craters dot the gray surface, fading to dark on the left side of the image.

A view of Earth taken by NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman from one of the Orion spacecraft's window after completing the translunar injection burn on April 2, 2026. The image features two auroras (top right and bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun.

Hiromi Higuruma — Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 9

[drragonn]

"In classic Fable fashion, you begin the game as a child. Growing up in the sleepy rural village of Briar Hill, it's here that in a moment of extreme danger. Your heroic powers first emerge and we discover that you are Albion's first hero in a generation. But not long afterwards, disaster strikes and the people of your village including your beloved grandma are turned to stone by a mysterious stranger. Suddenly alone in the world, you're set off on an adventure which will change Albion forever."

"Venturing out into the world is a huge moment, because this is Albion like you've never seen it before. Idyllic rolling hills, magical forests, bustling villages, sleepy hamlets, oversized vegetable patches, and stunning vistas. And because our Albion is truly open world for the first time, you'll be able to explore this rich and detailed world seamlessly with the freedom to go where you want from early in the game."

"We can't wait to welcome you back to Albion's iconic capital city, Bowerstone. Home to Fairfax Castle, the old clocktower, and the legendary Heroes' guild."

"Its a huge city- full of contrasts. Rich and poor. Nobles and commoners. Royalty and criminals. You'll spend plenty of time here during the game as you discover the secrets of the Heroes' guild and its reclusive guildmaster; Humphrey the Golden."

"In the north of Albion, you'll find mountains, craggy coastlines, spooky marshes, and the bleak windswept city of Bloodstone. Here you'll meet the leaders of two rival gangs vying for power and uncover the secrets of the sinister- but extremely well organized Cult of Shadows."

god the mighty nein would fucking thrive in the feywild. they refuse to give out their real names. behind a fake name is another fake name. they use disguise self constantly. they refuse to take anything at face value and do 21 investigation checks and 15 insight checks beforehand. they have a designated poison tester (beau). if someone tells them anything they double check it with a library and even ask the gods if it's true. jester tricked a hag with a two week old cupcake. artagan never brought the nein to the feywild not just because he doesn't want to go back there, but because he knew every person in the feywild would fucking hate the nein immediately solely for the fact that they couldn't trick them.

[rockshitty]

Even if a fey managed to trick them and get them to plan something based on false information, these people have never followed a plan in their life. They would spend four hours meticulously plotting an infiltration of the trickster fey’s target of choice, then halfway there get distracted by a horse that was slightly too big and end up on the other side of fairy solving the problem of Grass That Makes You Bigger.
