📈 Crypto peeps, did you know that the data industry is worth a whopping $166 billion? 🤯 That's a lot of zeros! And guess what? Our Human Data Income platform brings the power back to the people. 🫡🐸

@NASA A reduced version of the Death Star might be quite fun.

And there's the zero gravity indicator—a hand crocheted crane, with a flag from each nation on this mission on its tail. "#Crew10 believes in all of the dreamers." Interested in making your own zero gravity indicator? Join the Moon Mascot contest and your design could fly in space with NASA Artemis II:

Introducing the Moon Mascot for the Artemis II mission! The zero gravity indicator for the Moonbound crew was selected from thousands of submissions from over 50 countries and is named “Rise.” The design was inspired by the iconic Earthrise moment from the Apollo 8 mission.

Not bad for a first day in space. Yesterday, as they became closer to the Moon than the Earth, Commander Reid Wiseman and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen reflected on the feeling of the translunar injection burn. Rise, the zero-gravity indicator, hung out for the conversation as well.

The Artemis II astronauts are bringing this plush toy to their moon mission. Its name is Rise. It was chosen from a contest of 26,000 entries. It’ll be used as an indicator of when the astronauts have left earth’s gravity. There’s space history behind its design—and it’s cute!

The Artemis II astronauts placed a micro SD card carrying the names of 5.6 million people (who submitted them online between last September and March 27) inside Rise, their zero-gravity indicator, earlier today 🌎🌕🙂

Be honest - if you were a NASA astronaut, orbiting at 17,500mph in a Tin can ‘Space’ Station - surrounded by electronic equipment needed for your survival, would you really be playing around with loose water in zero gravity?

Hi Rise! 🧵 The Artemis II zero gravity indicator was designed by 3rd grader Lucas Ye. Our blanket technician at Goddard brought it to life, fabricated in the same lab where blankets are created to keep spacecraft like Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope the right temperature for science.

Next stop: lunar flyby. The Orion spacecraft recently ignited its main engine on the service module for about six minutes to provide about 6,000 pounds of thrust. This maneuver not only sets the Artemis II astronauts on the path to the Moon. It also puts the crew in a free return trajectory, which will allow them to use Moon's gravity to return to Earth.
