A Giant Leap Back to Earth 🌍
Today, we celebrate the successful splashdown of the Artemis II mission! Seeing Integrity safely back in the Pacific marks a major milestone in our journey back to the Moon and beyond.
To the @nasaartemis crew, recovery teams, and everyone behind the scenes—congratulations on an awe-inspiring mission. You’ve inspired a new generation of explorers and reminded us that space is for everyone. ✨

The Moonwalkers is coming home!
I’m delighted to bring this project to the place where The Moonwalkers lived and worked, and where the Artemis crews are preparing to follow in their footsteps.
And what better way to launch than with a conversation between Apollo 16 Moonwalker Charlie Duke and the crew of Artemis II.
No one else knows the territory better than the folks in Houston - and now you too can see this one-of-a-kind show in a specially designed IMAX presentation, as part of the experience at Space Center Houston, running every hour. Don’t miss it!!
Looking for a summer camp your kids will actually be excited about?
Space U Odyssey is an immersive 5-night STEM sleepaway camp experience that takes students on a hands-on journey through space science, engineering, and exploration.
Programming is split between @spacecenterhou and @campstrake , giving campers access to specialized resources, variety in environments, and a true “learn by doing” experience.
Campers step into the boots of real scientists, engineers, and astronauts as they take on high-stakes STEM challenges inspired by real NASA missions and aerospace engineering practices.
Launch your kid’s adventure! There are two session dates to experience Space U Odyssey:
June 28, 2026 – July 3, 2026
July 12, 2026 – July 17, 2026
Designed for explorers ages 11–17.
