Well, I collapsed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome on the ER floor. Pretty soon they'll discover me in the Super-Sargasso Sea. (Just remember: when you die, you will rot!) So c'mon, c'mon, and love me normally.

It's important to have at least two blorbos that fit into specific roles in your life

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and ask yourself what they would do in a situation, and draw motivation from them on how to be better and stronger!

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and remind yourself that no matter what happens, you probably aren't going to fuck your shit up as much as they did even if you actively tried

"she holds the record for the most days spent in space by a woman!" this "she was part of the only all female space walk!" that, she's on the list of people who have spent the most time in space, period. she's spent more time in space than any of her crewmates - one of whom hasn't been into space at all. her time in space is only three days less than what all of her crewmates have combined. she has had as many spacewalks as all of her crewmates combined. she's not there because she's the best female nasa astronaut they could find and they wanted the diversity quota or whatever, she's there because she's part of the most qualified and experienced nasa personnel they could send up there

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.

"we see a half moon. full moon joy, still" oh my god i love this crew so much stop it

[sincerelywithheartt]

Rise, the mascot and zero gravity indicator, for Artemis II has taken over the NASA Artemis social media. How cute!

The past few days have been pretty crap for me but the Artemis II mission slapped me back! People have just travelled around the moon it’s insane!! It feels me with so many emotions, I like to think about our ancestors, all the ancient animals and humans who looked up at the very same moon these astronauts travelled around! And to think that people LANDED on the moon in the 60s, even though they barely had the technology we have today... Margaret Hamilthon, who wrote the code for the Apollo mission makes me especially emotional, I love women I love women in space In this drawing I referenced the photo they took of Earth, the path they flew on, the four stars representing the four crew members, and I also included Artemis herself! Things have been so horrible all around the world so it makes me really happy to come together and celebrate something so unbelievably amazing, go check out the incredible photos they took

Best buds in space

[elsiesaur]

nasa PLEASE sell rise merch i need one to hang off my bag, a massive one for my room and about 15 others for various reasons, including playing a game of volleyball

[lumii78]

Seeing all the edits of artemis ii and their quotes truly makes me emotional. Not gonna lie i ugly cried while hearing such cheerful and positive thoughts about earth and humanity. It realy reminds me that we all are humans, through history we stand together, surviving hell and heven on earth. I truly belive that every stranger is a friend we haven't met yet, because we are all together going through hardships of life, surviving it. You are not alone, we are all in this.

And sudently i feel less like an alien here. (⁠灬⁠º⁠‿⁠º⁠灬⁠)⁠♡
