This is a picture of a space sailor looking out the window of his boat while traveling with a speed of 3414 km/h toward the Moon, taken from outside the boat.

That must be another first. It feels like good ol' NASA again.

Image captured from NASA's live coverage stream.

Hat tip to whomever had the idea of taking pictures like the ones above, using the cameras at the end of the four solar arrays. It's usually someone of the numerous unsung heroes working to make success stories like the Artemis II mission happen.

@65dBnoise I totally approve of this modern spaceflight trend of “put GoPro cameras everywhere”.

@c_dan4th @65dBnoise the only reason we didn't put them on our sounding rocket was because thermal management would have taken too much time.
