Of everything we learn, communication just might be the most important. We finished up 2023 training with teams from on how @nasaartemis crews will safely leave the Orion spacecraft in case of an emergency, which can mean understanding each other even through a sealed helmet

The "8 Balls" astronaut class turns 10 today! 🎱 NASA's 21st astronaut class of 8 exceptional men and women, chosen from >6,000 candidates, was announced #OTD in 2013. 2 of them, @Astro_Christina and @AstroVicGlover, have since been selected to fly to the Moon on #Artemis II.

To the Moon, by way of Goddard! Today, the @NASAArtemis II astronauts visited Goddard, met employees and answered questions about their experience. @Astro_Christina spoke about her time as an engineer at Goddard and preparing to go to the Moon.

The crew met some of the youngest members of the Artemis Generation, pre-kindergartners from the NASA Goddard Child Development Center, as part of their visit.

Every time I do STEM outreach, I leave feeling sure that I got more out of it than the students. No exception last week when we got to share some space design demos with students after the @NASAArtemis II crew announcement. Thank you!!
