I just wanna know more about that optical comms system, how wide is that beam when it reaches Integrity? how precisely can they aim a laser from a rotating planet at a 100mm telescope receiver on a moving spacecraft? what’s the receiver situation on Earth?
if your ISP is not giving you 260 mbps, it’s now officially worse than the bandwidth of a spacecraft in deep space
now, the wake-up songs is a NASA tradition all the way back to Gemini, they’re chosen by the crew members or their families and friends and often they represent specific members of the crew, why they chose this one for the crew of our most heterosexual woman ever is a mystery. unrelated fact, they also used to think Sally Ride was straight 
personally I would have waited until just after the comms blackout during the Lunar flyby. “Houston, the Moon has changed me.”
all of them?? all at once??  
wow aseprite greatly improved its text tool during the time I was cut off from it !!
you can just barely see the Mare Orientale on the very left edge  Earthside will be disappearing in the coming days

Hello World
Image Credit: NASA, Reid Wiseman, Artemis II

Explanation: From pole to pole our fair planet is captured in this snapshot from space, an evocative image from a window of the Orion spacecraft Integrity, From the spacecraft's perspective the Sun is moving behind Earth's bright limb along the lower right. Africa and the Iberian peninsula are in view on the pale blue planet's surface, while aurorae crown Earth's south and north poles at top right and bottom left. Commander Reid Wiseman took the historic picture on Artemis II mission flight day 2 (April 2), after the completion of the planned translunar injection burn. That burn boosted the spacecraft out of Earth orbit, sending spacecraft and crew on a trajectory that will take them around the Moon and back again. That's a journey humans last made over 50 years ago.
