"NASA Mission Control in Houston has lost a direct communications link with the astronauts aboard Orion, which is entirely expected as the spacecraft soars beyond the moon’s far side and moves out of the reach of large antennas on Earth.

This loss of signal should last for about 40 minutes."

@jupiter_rowland Alt text on the web shouldn't be long, but also, I know preferences on this differ, plus I think social media is a bit of its own environment, where people sometimes make elaborate jokes, or share strongly emotive photography, and matching that may require a more detailed description.
@askans @alttexthalloffame as someone who is autistic, it's helpful for me as sometimes I don't understand what I'm supposed to be looking at. I also find writing alt text useful to keep my attention to detail sharp.
