    If I saw just this picture it would be easy to say it was made in Hollywood, but after having watched #Artemis -1 launch & perform its' test flight so well, so far....it makes these images even more astounding! Godspeed #Artemis -1, looking forward to your splashdown on Sunday!
    We have retrieved signal with @NASA_Orion after an expected loss of signal when the spacecraft flew directly behind the Moon. You can see Earth in the distance. That's us. #Artemis nasa.gov/artemislive

    So far from home, farthest a spacecraft built for humans has ever travelled from our home planet. @NASA_Orion #Artemis-1 today at nearly 270,000 miles from #Earth 1/2 way through the mission timeline. Splashdown targeted for 11 Dec.
    This is RIGHT NOW. @NASA_Orion is looking back at Earth and the Moon from distant retrograde orbit. Watch the #Artemis I livestream: bit.ly/3EBXYiY

    Our @NASAArtemis #Orion spacecraft is making #selfie history, capturing itself with our entire home planet and all of mankind. It’s plain to see from this perspective that we humans are truly one, all in this together in our one common home. Almost halfway to the Moon already!

    Just in case you missed it live early Wed AM. #Artemis-1 'slipping the surly bonds of earth'
    When we go, we go together. The #Artemis team wants to thank everyone who helped us along the way toward the first launch of the @NASA_SLS rocket and @NASA_Orion.

    And this is what 8.8 million pounds of #Artemis -1 thrust to escape Earth sounds like!

    Dawn of a new era in Space! Carrying the dreams of thousands aloft to bring the Moon back within reach! Godspeed #Artemis -1!

    At <5 hours to Launch of #Artemis -1, No, this isn't @NASA_Astronauts rushing to get onboard, but a pic from earlier this week when we saw this beautiful @NASA_SLS on the launch pad. Current & future Astronauts out there anxiously awaiting our first #Artemis flight on @NASA TV!

    We're targeting Sat, Sept 3 at 2:17 PM ET for our next #Artemis I launch attempt. Our teams met today to review the data and understand the issues we experienced. Continuing to encourage them to take this process one step at a time, follow the data, and learn about the vehicle.
    NASA’s Artemis I sits on the launchpad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

    Safety is always first. Following today's #Artemis I launch attempt, @NASAArtemis teams are working through an issue with engine number 3, and expect to give a news briefing later today. Stay tuned for broadcast details. nasa.gov/live
    A panoramic view of the Space Launch System rocket at the launch pad a few miles away, getting illuminated during sunrise. Its 32-story orange core stage is flanked by two white rocket boosters. In the background is the Atlantic Ocean and towering grayish-purple clouds dominate the image. The sky is aglow with orange hues between the clouds.
