Here is the realtime video of the #ArtemisII reentry. It's quite interesting how the soundscape changes over time as Orion blasts through the atmosphere. You can even hear the astronauts talking in the background (unfortunately mostly unintelligible). youtu.be/7a4Z8h3K7pY

From today’s visit to Monkeyflower Ranch in Salinas California.

It is great to see the scale of Dragonfly here. All of the animations of the mission don't easily show off how huge this drone is. I can't wait for it to fly in Titan's atmosphere.
