In this week's #SETILive, Simon chatted with Caitlin Ahrens from NASA Goddard about the upcoming (and now delayed) #ArtemisII mission and the two experiments researching the effects of radiation on astronauts. Watch the full interview: https://youtube.com/live/fEKIYiK4AwA
In addition to #space exploration and #science I do wonder if going back to the moon will be an adventure we can share that helps bring people together 💫
Fingers crossed the Feb8 launch goes forward! #ArtemisII #artemis #lunar #moon #spacecraft #spaceexploration #astronomy #Astrodon #launch #liftoff

Need to get 'into the mood' about #ArtemisII? The 27-minute feature https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMoXNq2n9_Y from NBC News could do the job.
A live view of the #ArtemisII stack on the pad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCrPD7tfcr0 - where the countdown for the Wet Dress Rehearsal has begun at 1:13 UTC; see https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/01/31/countdown-begins-for-artemis-ii-wet-dress-rehearsal/ for the timeline and https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/02/01/generalprobe-wet-dress-rehearsal-fur-artemis-ii/ for maaany Artemis-related links going back to 2023.
So an #ArtemisII first attempt a week from tomorrow, it appears. The 10day expedition around the moon should be interesting if they can pull it off.
Fingers crossed - it'll be a nice distraction from other news (hopefully not too much of a distraction that it's exploited for more abuses)
