One Captcha Had Me Questioning If I Really Know What A Bus Is. Took Me 15 Minutes.

What Would These Astronauts Put in Their #NASAMoonKit?

NASA is hard at work to land the first woman and the next man on the Moon, and we want to know: what would you pack for a trip to the Moon?   

We will be soon conducting our last in a series of Green Run tests for the core stage of our Space Launch System (SLS) — the most powerful rocket ever built.

The series of tests is designed to gradually bring the rocket stage and all its systems to life for the first time — ensuring that it’s ready for missions to the Moon through the Artemis program.  

To mark this critical time in the history of American spaceflight, we’ve been asking people like you — what would you take with you on a trip to the Moon? Social media users have been regaling us with their images, videos, and illustrations with the hashtag #NASAMoonKit!

Looking for a little inspiration? We asked some of our astronauts and NASA leaders the same question:

1. NASA Astronaut Chris Cassidy

NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy recently took this photo from the International Space Station and posted it to his Twitter account with this caption:

“If I was on the next mission to the Moon, I would have to bring this tiny spaceman with me! He’s flown with me on all of my missions and was in my uniform pocket for all the SEAL missions I have been a part of. Kind of like a good luck charm.”

2. European Space Agency Astronaut Tim Peake

European Space Agency astronaut Tim Peake asked his two sons what they would take with them to the Moon. This is what they decided on!

3. NASA Astronaut Scott Tingle

Based on previous missions to space, NASA astronaut Scott Tingle would put a can of LiOH, or Lithium Hydroxide, into his #NASAMoonKit. 

A LiOH can pulls carbon dioxide out of the air — very important when you’re in a closed environment for a long time! Apollo 13 enthusiasts will remember that the astronauts had to turn off their environmental system to preserve power. To keep the air safe, they used LiOH cans from another part of the vehicle, but the cans were round and the fitting was square. Today we have interoperability standards for space systems, so no more square pegs in round holes!

4. NASA Astronaut Drew Morgan

NASA astronaut Drew Morgan received some feedback from his youngest daughter when she was in kindergarten about she would put into her #NASAMoonKit.

5. Head of Human Spaceflight Kathy Lueders

Although Kathy Lueders is not an astronaut, she is the head of human spaceflight at NASA! Her #NASAMoonKit includes activities to keep her entertained as well as her favorite pillow.

6. NASA Astronaut Kenneth Bowersox

NASA astronaut Kenneth Bowersox knows from his past space shuttle experience what the “perfect space food” is — peanut butter. He would also put a hooded sweatshirt in his #NASAMoonKit, for those long, cold nights on the way to the Moon.

7. NASA Astronaut Michael Collins

NASA astronaut Michael Collins has actually made a real-life #NASAMoonKit — when he flew to the Moon on the Apollo 11 mission! But for this time around, he tweeted that would like to bring coffee like he did the first time — but add on a good book.

Litterally me my entire playthrough. Seriously, what happened? Where did it all go? Where'smy sheika slate? Do they ever explain it in the game and I just missed the explanation? I know you can find ancient blades at the very least.

Me: What happened to all of the ancient sheikah tech and whatnot?

TOTK:

One of those planets in the background had better be pluto!

Reblog if your favorite pokemon is

I'm so down for celebrating the moon landing! How do we celebrate it?

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

My dog thinks my breath smells good after I've eaten. The way I can tell is he tries to lick up my breath when he gets in my face

These are absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend them to anyone who played through outerwilds. I bought these last year and they are my absolute favorite!

My Outer Wilds unofficial fanbook is now back in stock on BOOTH!

Theme: A compilation of the research records of the living things in the Outer Wilds left behind in that universe by Nomai and Hearthian biologists. Format: 148mm * 210mm, 46 pages, in full color. Language: Japanese. The English version is available as a grayscale pdf file.

Also a postcard printed with glow-in-the-dark ink is included as a bonus.

Believe it or not, that bridge is actually the real moon

The space swing set has gotten pretty spooky, what with all the ghosts and whatnot.

Where do our dreams go?

You can put a man in space but you can't put space in a man
