NASA Astronaut Victor Glover Shares Gospel Message Before Losing Signal with Earth​

NASA astronaut and pilot for the Artemis II mission, Victor Glover, shared the Gospel and teachings of Jesus Christ, moments before losing signal with Earth as he and the other astronauts reached the dark side of the Moon.

Glover shared that as he, and the three other astronauts, Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, got closer “to the nearest point to the Moon, and farthest point from Earth,” he wanted to remind people of one of the “most important mysteries” on Earth, love.

Glover shared how Jesus Christ said that the “greatest command” was to “love God with all that you are,” and added that the second greatest commandment is for people “to love your neighbor as yourself.”

Matthew 22:36-40 shares that Jesus stated the greatest commandment is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Jesus also adds that the second greatest commandment is to “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Trump calls Artemis II astronauts after historic moon flyby: ‘Really proud’​

(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump made a late-night call to the astronauts of NASA’s Artemis II following their historic journey around the moon.

NASA’s Orion capsule reached a maximum distance of 252,756 miles from Earth before hanging a U-turn behind the moon, 4,101 miles farther than Apollo 13.

Trump congratulated Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansenfor their efforts in shattering the distance record set by Apollo 13 in 1970.

“Today you’ve made history and made all America really proud, incredibly proud. We have a lot of things to be proud of lately, but this is, there’s nothing like what you’re doing,” Trump said.

“Humans have really never seen anything quite like what you’re doing in a manned spacecraft.”

Artemis II Mission Enters Final Day As Splashdown Approaches​

The Artemis II mission has entered its final day as astronauts prepare to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean Friday evening at around 8:07 p.m. EST off the coast of San Diego.

Artemis 2 flight director Jeff Radigan said that the critical period began after the Orion spacecraft reaches "entry interface," or about an altitude of 400,000 feet. Once that point is hit, there will be about 13 minutes before splashdown.

"It's 13 minutes of things that have to go right," Radigan said. "I have a whole checklist in my head we're going through of all the things that have to happen."

The Orion spacecraft hit the halfway point between the Moon and Earth on Thursday and began preparations for reentry into Earth's atmosphere, including reconfiguring the cabin.

Artemis II Cleared to Return with Pacific Ocean Splashdown on Friday​

The four astronauts of NASA’s Artemis II were making final preparations for their return to earth Friday after launching from Kennedy Space Center nearly 10 days ago.

NPR reports the crew’s Orion space capsule is scheduled to enter the atmosphere at 7:53 p.m. ET, just southeast of Hawaii. Some 13 minutes later, it should splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego.

To make it there, the spacecraft will first have to punch through the Earth’s atmosphere at about 25,000 miles per hour and experience temperatures upwards of 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

The splashdown sequence, beginning with the separation of the European Service Module, takes roughly 42 minutes to complete.

The Weather Channel sets out the exact timing and sequences that will prove critical to a safe return to earth:

Exposing the heat shield, Orion is ready to face temperatures soaring to nearly 3,000 degrees as it slices through Earth’s atmosphere. Don’t worry, this shield is designed to take the heat, though NASA is watching extra closely after significant erosion seen on the Artemis I.

Once reentry heat peaks, Orion will shed its cover, clearing the way for a precise parachute sequence. Two initial parachutes will deploy to slow the capsule from over 300 mph, followed by three pilot chutes that will pull out the final three main parachutes.

By the time Orion hits the Pacific Ocean, it’s expected to be gliding at a calm 17 mph. That’s when pre-positioned recovery teams from the U.S. Navy and NASA will move in.

I watched the live feed from NASA, it was so exciting. The comments were allowed on the live feed and people were posting so fast that you could barely read a few! The excitement was worldwide! People from Canada, Australia, S. America, Africa, all over Europe—even China were so grateful and excited.

I especially love this:

Artemis Astronaut Offers Easter Thoughts About the Bible and God's Provision for Humans​

The astronauts of Artemis II are set to travel further away from Earth than anyone ever has as they swing around the moon.

And when mission pilot Victor Glover was asked in a CBS interview if he had an Easter message, he said he didn't have anything prepared, but then he went on to talk about his faith in God and the Bible

"When I read the Bible, and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us, who were created it, you have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys are talking to us because we're on a spaceship, and we're really far from Earth, but you're on a spaceship called Earth, that was created to give us a place to live in the universe and the cosmos."

Boeing X-37B is an interesting bit of technology- that the Chinese copied. It's one to watch.
