"Life is a journey and the journey itself is home" - Matsuo Basho (Japanese master of haiku poetry)
Today, and always, we honor their bravery and the nearly 3,000 lives we lost. You will never be forgotten.
Twenty-five years ago, this country faced its darkest day and met it with extraordinary courage. In the face of terror, first responders, office workers, and ordinary people chose each other without question or hesitation.

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.
Let us remember the extraordinary compassion, resilience and bravery that carried our city through its darkest day. Today, New York remembers. We will Never Forget.

Tonight in New York, drones recreated the Twin Towers at full scale over the skyline. There were exactly 2,977 of them – one for each person killed 25 years ago on September 11.
A display of 2,977 lights, one for each life lost during 9/11, formed the Twin Towers over New York Harbor ahead of the 25th anniversary.
Confronting the lens with defiant, regal poise, J-pop icon Ayumi Hamasaki embodies a radical, avant-garde synthesis of traditional Japanese sartorial iconography and modern pop theatricality.

Looking toward the Moon and beyond! 🌖 Knowledge transfer from the Artemis II crew will directly support Artemis III's low Earth orbit docking tests and lay the groundwork for NASA's planned return to the lunar surface on the Artemis IV mission in 2028.
🌕 Historic achievements in deep space! During their Artemis II flight, the crew became the first humans to travel to lunar orbit in over 50 years, ultimately flying farther into space than anyone in human history before their safe splashdown on April 10.
What does emeritus status mean at NASA? 🌌 In this role, seasoned astronauts donate their technical expertise to train and mentor current flight controllers, engineers, and future spacefarers—keeping critical knowledge in-house while maintaining flexibility.
🚀 NASA astronauts Victor Glover and Reid Wiseman are transitioning to emeritus status at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston! Following their historic Artemis II mission around the Moon, both will step into mentor roles while pursuing new opportunities.

Happy 60th anniversary to the brilliant universe of Star Trek, and all who made it possible. Live long and prosper. 🖖
We never imagined how far that dream would travel, into homes, into hearts, into the way generations imagined what we could still become. In a world that often feels as divided as ever, maybe that's exactly why we need it now: a reminder that unity was always the point.
