Today we're sending the first black person & the first woman to the moon.

But I know that Dr. Mae Jemison was the first black woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992.

Also, Jemison became the first real-life astronaut to appear on #StarTrek
Here's Jemison as Lt. Palmer in #StarTrekTNG episode Second Chances talking to Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek's Lt. Uhura, outside the set.

I know some folks have good reasons for having trouble with today’s launch, and I understand, but thanks for the space (har har) you gave those of us watching in awe and hope today. I didn’t see anyone posting positive comments getting met with negativity. Everything is hard right now but it felt like folks were let alone to have their I ❤️ NASA moment despite rational frustrations about this.

Thanks, all. It made my day better.

Big spacey science feelings today. 🚀 #ArtemisII #Launch #Artemis

Just realized in a couple posts I had accidentally spelled #Artemis as #Artmis which is why, among other reasons, NASA has chosen not to put me in charge of mission checklists.

@OohOkayKay Not just you

Me (45 minutes before launch): There's a launch today!

Auntie in FL: There is?? I bet I could see it from my driveway! Text me five minutes before the launch so I can remember to go outside and look

Me (laughing): Okay remember that ADHD discussion? There's no way I will remember to do this, I'm already way too excited

Auntie (laughing): Nevermind, nevermind! I'll remember!

Okay, so who else crossed their fingers and repeated, "Don't explode. Don't exploded. Don't explode."

Just me?
Cool cool.

Wooo! Okay finally breathing again!

A few minutes ago on the live feed for #artemis I watched the astronaut with the tablet on his laptop unlock it with a password of 3939. Hope they change it before the next flight.

Holy crap, ten minutes to go.

Watching this launch is making me laugh at how the calmer their voices get ("everything is a go!") the more adrenaline starts coursing through my body.

Artemis crew just "got into the astrovan" and I don't know why that's so cute, but it is.
