Orion's velocity is now 4.31km / s and increasing, and has enter the space that's closer than the geosynchronous orbit.
No picture of Artemis II Pilot Victor Glover (NASA) yet, but to have the crew quartet complete, here is one of him looking outside a window sometime after the other pictures were taken.

#Perseverance appears to be having increased image transfer errors (bluish, purplish, gray bands). It may be a temporary issue having to do with link geometry, or a sign of aging of the orbiters providing relay service for the rovers on Mars surface.
A new communications satellite, the Mars Telecommunications Network (#MTN), is supposed to be operational there by the end of 2028.
I missed that intentionally, but I now see that I really missed the opportunity to LMAO online. Though this of course is a much better take that anything I'd have to offer.
Those lovely spacesailors proved once again what has been obvious from the first day: they are exceptional people, in all aspects.

And now you have Jared Isaacman talk about Trump and the 4 crew visiting the White House š, and live coverage from inside #Orion stopped obviously because the spacesailors started firing the rockets to return back to Moon orbit as soon as possible, before gathering more speed toward the W̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶H̶o̶u̶s̶e̶ Earth. š š¤£
And, a question about future budget of NASA to Isaacman was quashed.
Back to reality. #humor
