What Would These Astronauts Put in Their #NASAMoonKit?
NASA is hard at work to land the first woman and the next man on the Moon, and we want to know: what would you pack for a trip to the Moon?
We will be soon conducting our last in a series of Green Run tests for the core stage of our Space Launch System (SLS) — the most powerful rocket ever built.
The series of tests is designed to gradually bring the rocket stage and all its systems to life for the first time — ensuring that it’s ready for missions to the Moon through the Artemis program.
To mark this critical time in the history of American spaceflight, we’ve been asking people like you — what would you take with you on a trip to the Moon? Social media users have been regaling us with their images, videos, and illustrations with the hashtag #NASAMoonKit!
Looking for a little inspiration? We asked some of our astronauts and NASA leaders the same question:
1. NASA Astronaut Chris Cassidy
NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy recently took this photo from the International Space Station and posted it to his Twitter account with this caption:
“If I was on the next mission to the Moon, I would have to bring this tiny spaceman with me! He’s flown with me on all of my missions and was in my uniform pocket for all the SEAL missions I have been a part of. Kind of like a good luck charm.”
2. European Space Agency Astronaut Tim Peake
European Space Agency astronaut Tim Peake asked his two sons what they would take with them to the Moon. This is what they decided on!
3. NASA Astronaut Scott Tingle
Based on previous missions to space, NASA astronaut Scott Tingle would put a can of LiOH, or Lithium Hydroxide, into his #NASAMoonKit.
A LiOH can pulls carbon dioxide out of the air — very important when you're in a closed environment for a long time! Apollo 13 enthusiasts will remember that the astronauts had to turn off their environmental system to preserve power. To keep the air safe, they used LiOH cans from another part of the vehicle, but the cans were round and the fitting was square. Today we have interoperability standards for space systems, so no more square pegs in round holes!
4. NASA Astronaut Drew Morgan
NASA astronaut Drew Morgan received some feedback from his youngest daughter when she was in kindergarten about she would put into her #NASAMoonKit.
5. Head of Human Spaceflight Kathy Lueders
Although Kathy Lueders is not an astronaut, she is the head of human spaceflight at NASA! Her #NASAMoonKit includes activities to keep her entertained as well as her favorite pillow.
6. NASA Astronaut Kenneth Bowersox
NASA astronaut Kenneth Bowersox knows from his past space shuttle experience what the “perfect space food” is — peanut butter. He would also put a hooded sweatshirt in his #NASAMoonKit, for those long, cold nights on the way to the Moon.
7. NASA Astronaut Michael Collins
NASA astronaut Michael Collins has actually made a real-life #NASAMoonKit — when he flew to the Moon on the Apollo 11 mission! But for this time around, he tweeted that would like to bring coffee like he did the first time — but add on a good book.

Miss Bell the magical witch
“Hi, Miss Bell here, I have always been curious & enjoyed magic since I was young, so much so that I decided I wanted to be a Witch. I have had so much fun and adventure ever since I decided to go to this School to make my dreams come true and become the best witch I can ever be!“
Update: The quality
ii 17 spoilers!!
i just watched the new episode, a little bit late! it HURTS :) anyway, i saw some parallels, and i wasn't sure if i was clutching at straws, so i'm going to put them here!
taco and oj with knife and suitcase?
taco's character was playing dumb and she was going to backstab right at the end
suitcase doesn't play dumb but come soff as a pushover initially and is also labelled a backstabber
knife seems to have a somewhat high opinion of himself (unless i read that wrong) and it means he can be kinda a bitch
oj also has a VERY high opinion of himself and can definitely be a bitch! oj narcissism core!
there's also the physical size! suitcase and taco short, knife and oj taller, suitcase and taco wide, oj and knife kinda same wideness
suitcase and taco, both originally had no arms (before taco uhhhhhh.. magically had arms idk i didnt watch season 1 im sorry im not a real fan 💀
going by this logic, taco was initially going to backstab oj at the end of season 1 but failed
were suitcase and knife a way of mephone4 retrying the trope? too much character development happened to just label them as that now, but is suitcase supposed to win the season like taco was supposedly meant to? or would knife win like oj did-
this is what happens when you give inanimate insanity to a little LOSER. it will make its little THEORIES. and be a little SAD.
anyway did i miss anything that links to this? :D
(edit: i know he made iii to make it more lighthearted bc season 2 got too depressing and shit but was that what he initially meant to do with season 2? and then it got depressing anyway?)
