Reply all: Hello from space! When they weren't taking amazing space photos, conducting science, or talking to people back on Earth, the @NASAArtemis II astronauts completed other work – like sending emails – with tablets and smartphones.

"The gratitude of seeing what we saw, doing what we did… it’s too big to just be in one body." In the newest episode of our Curious Universe podcast, hear some of the first reactions from Artemis II astronauts after their Moon mission: go.nasa.gov/3Q3txf7

The bad news? There is no more Artemis II live mission coverage for you to watch. The good news? New Artemis II imagery continues to roll in. We're continuing to unveil new images from the Artemis II mission. You can find them here: go.nasa.gov/3QcK9Rs

NASA Force will begin accepting its first round of applications April 17, bringing early- to mid-career engineers, technologists and innovators into mission-critical roles at the forefront of a new golden age of exploration. Apply starting April 17: nasa.gov/careers/nasafoMostrar mais

The first Canadian to fly to the Moon and back. 🥹🌙 We are so proud of you, Jeremy­! 📷: NASA

And everything under the Sun is in tune 🎶 This image from the eclipse during the Artemis II lunar flyby captures a halo of light around the Moon. Scientists are still investigating if the glow comes from interstellar dust or the solar corona.

The time has come for America to get underway on nuclear power in space🇺🇸

Jesse, Steve, Laddy, and Vlad….such an incredible feeling to welcome you aboard Integrity after a nearly 700,000 mile journey. Forever thankful for your service to our crew and the nation.

The world watched. Artemis II carried humans farther into space than we’ve ever been in over half a century and showed a new generation what exploration looks like. The journey back to the Moon is underway. Artemis III is up next.

Now that the Artemis II crew is home, what's next for our Artemis program? We're preparing to launch Artemis missions every year. Artemis III is next up in 2027, with Artemis IV landing on the Moon in 2028. Learn more about the Artemis mission cadence: go.nasa.gov/4voifMostrar mais

New photos from the Moon! We're continuing to unveil new images from the Artemis II mission—including these two photos from April 6, showing a crescent Earthrise and a closeup of the lunar farside. Keep up with the latest: www.nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimedia/

Want to hear more from the Artemis II astronauts? Fresh off their return to Earth, the crew will hold a news conference at 2:30pm ET (1830 UTC) on Thursday, April 16, to discuss their mission: go.nasa.gov/3OFIAep
