Check out our new ride to the Moon. What does it take to design a spacecraft—and a rocket—that can send humans beyond low Earth orbit? The latest episode of our NASA's Curious Universe podcast takes you inside the engineering that will power our @NASA Artemis II journey around the Moon: https://bit.ly/498S0qf

This “new ride” has to solve problems Apollo never did. Artemis II’s Orion isn’t just built to reach the Moon but it’s engineered to survive deep-space radiation, navigate autonomously hundreds of thousands of miles from Earth, and return at lunar-entry speeds that heat the capsule hotter than molten lava. All of that engineering for a mission measured in days… but progress measured in generations. Which part of the spacecraft design feels the most mind-bending?

Inspiring to see the engineering behind Artemis II—the future of human spaceflight is taking shape.

The shear power of the human mind, to see and discover obstacles then overcome them is simply staggering.

It’s no how big your rocket is, it’s how well you use it?

Curiosity is the mother of excellence.

What an extraordinary moment in human history! 🚀🌕 NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Curious Universe series beautifully captures not just the engineering brilliance behind Artemis II, but also the human spirit of curiosity, resilience and collective ambition that drives us beyond our limits. The Artemis II mission — the first crewed voyage around the Moon in over 50 years — is a testament to unmatched dedication & innovation This journey isn’t just about returning humans to lunar space; it’s about redefining what’s possible for humanity, building the foundation for future exploration, and inspiring investors, leaders, and innovators to imagine a tomorrow where space is. Thank you, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for advancing science with such precision, purpose and passion. Your work fuels the dreams of the next generation of engineers, explorers and global leaders. 🌍✨ 👏🚀 Truly monumental — here’s to safe launches, bold discoveries, and limitless horizons! #ArtemisII #NASACuriousUniverse #MoonMission #SpaceExploration #InnovationLeadership #FutureOfSpace #GlobalCollaboration #DeepSpaceDiscovery #InspireHumanity #TechVision #LinkedInLeaders #InvestInInnovation #CXOInsights

This is the kind of engineering storytelling that gets people excited about space again 🚀 Artemis II isn’t just a mission—it’s a masterclass in systems design, human safety, and pushing beyond LEO. Love how Curious Universe breaks down the complexity behind making deep-space human flight possible. Can’t wait to see this next chapter unfold 🌕
