0:03 Calaruga Shark Media. Welcome to Sleep from Space. NASA is counting down to Artemis two, which will send four astronauts around the Moon in the coming weeks. There are currently twelve astronauts aboard the ISS, including Olegg Kononenko, Nikolai Chubb, and Tracy Caldwell Dyson. They're traveling at seventeeny five hundred miles per hour, watching sixteen sunrises every day. The moon is waning gibbous, rising a bit later each night. Early evening offers good dark sky time before moonrise. The red planet takes center stage this month. Step outside after dinner and look east. Mars is unmistakable with its orange red hue. Jupiter lingers briefly in the west. Here's something to think about. A full NASA space suit costs about twelve million dollars. The backpack and life support system account for most of that cost.
