       A reminder Artemis II was a relic of Obama's term and this mission was a success in spite of trump, who defunded and harmed the success of NASA his entire time in office.Kudos to NASA and especially the Artemis crew who focused on the wonder and curiosity of the human spirit, on sharing feelings of what it's like to see the moon's dark side, and reminding us that love and hope are still possible even in this increasingly scary and fascist world.#Artemis #spaceflight

       @Aaidanbird not only started this project under Obama; it is a project of cooperation with Canada and the EU, who’s ESA designed and build the services module for Orion. #uspol #Artemis #artemis2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Service_Module

       @Aaidanbird oh,, and another gemstone from Wikipedia:“In May 2025, the second Trump administration proposed terminating the Orion spacecraft program after Artemis III.[5] The One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed in July 2025 included a provision to fund procurement of Orion for Artemis IV and reuse in future missions.[6]”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(spacecraft)

       Also, it's nice to hear GOOD news for once. The endless bad news is psychologically exhausting (which is what the Fascists want for us). So receiving nine days of good news that inspire wonder and hope? As we fight to end fascism, we need moments where we rest from the pain and exhaustion fighting entails. Artemis's wonderful journey to the moon gave us that respite.#artemis

       @Aaidanbird … and, as we are at it, for us Germans a space ship called Orion is a way bigger thing that calling it just “Enterprise” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raumpatrouille_–_Die_phantastischen_Abenteuer_des_Raumschiffes_Orion #Orion #Artemis
