Summarily discarding 'old' technology is a huge mistake. We can only hope that gems from the past aren't forever lost in subsequent waves of fashion and hype.
The #Forth programming language, pioneered at NRAO almost 60 years ago, is one such gem.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission:

View from one of the solar panel cameras shows the Orion capsule heading into deep space. At the lower right is a small while sphere with a circle around it labeled MOON.
As the Orion capsule continues its approach, the Moon is captured by one of the solar panel cameras at 95,556 miles out.

We know #spaceflight changes the #microbiome in astronauts. What we don't yet know is what that means for their long-term health. That's the gap #CBIOMES was designed to close — before humans are living on
the Moon full-time.

Here's the connection to #Artemis. Long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars will stress the human body in ways we're still learning to understand. One of the least-studied: what happens to the gut #microbiome in microgravity and how can it impact astronaut responses to #spaceflight.

We are so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. From space, our little blue planet seems so quiet and peaceful. Just beautiful. Photos from NASA website.

The #Artemis2 spacecraft and its 4 #astronauts are on their way home following a historic day in human #spaceflight yesterday. The crew reached the farthest distance from Earth ever traveled by humans and saw parts of the #moon never before seen in daylight by human eyes:

4 day 21 hours 36 minutes into the mission.
7,691 miles from the Moon.
The #Artemis II astronauts have, as expected, broken #Apollo13 record for the longest human #spaceflight ever, Reuters reports.
The capsule continues its journey around the #Moon, where it will set a record of 406,772.9 kilometers from #Earth later tonight, according to #NASA
Artemis II crew breaks Apollo 13 record for farthest human spaceflight, surpassing 248,655 miles from Earth. #Nasa #Spaceflight

4 days 7 hours 33 minutes into the mission.
The Orion Service Module and solar panel can been seen at the left.
The dim outline of planet Earth is seen at extreme lower right.

3 days 1 hour 46 minutes into the mission. This image shows the Orion capsule from the base of the Service Module facing into deep space.
At the right lower corner is an image of the Moon.
Bluesky doesn't render the thumbnail, but you should really click through.

This image of the Orion capsule demonstrates that there is no up or down in outer space.
Orion is apparently pointed severely downward to the right, with a solar panel canted away upwards at a right angle. The background is filled with stars.
#Artemis #NASA #Spaceflight
A much moodier image of the Orion capsule. No lights are on. Is everyone asleep? The meatball NASA logo is clearly visible. So are the welds on the spacecraft surface. Stars behind.
