Happy birthday U.S. Marines! On this day in 1775, the Continental Marines formed to support the 13 colonies in the American Revolutionary War. Many years later, Marine Corps Aviation began in 1912. 📸: U.S. Marine Corps collar insignia in our collection

Two years ago, Artemis I soared into the heavens—setting the stage for humanity's return to the surface of the Moon. This was just the beginning. And through #Artemis, we have leap after giant leap in store.

The flight that changed it all. #OTD in 1903, the Wright Flyer became the first powered, heavier-than-air machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot.

Progress check âś… Over the last month, NASA's Exploration Ground Systems has made significant progress stacking the NASA_SLS solid rocket boosters for the #Artemis II mission. Now, both boosters stand one aft assembly and one segment tall inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

Today on our Day of Remembrance, we pay tribute to our fallen heroes—the crews of Apollo 1, Challenger (STS-51L), Columbia (STS-107), and others that have lost their lives while advancing NASA's mission. We work to never repeat the mistakes of the past. nasa.gov/dor/

Technicians with NASA's Exploration Ground Systems recently finished stacking the SLS solid rocket boosters for NASA Artemis II. Watch as teams in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center assemble the boosters, which will provide 75% of the thrust needed at liftoff. youtube.com/watch?v=oSVsDm…
