BREAKING: Artemis II astronauts fire their engines to rocket toward the moon after spending a day orbiting around Earth.
Artemis II astronauts rocket toward the moon after spending a day around Earth
NASA’s Artemis II astronauts have fired their engines and are blazing toward the moon. The so-called translunar ignition came 25 hours after liftoff, putting the three Americans and one Canadian on course for a lunar fly-around early next week.

It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.

Jan. 10, 9:00 a.m. update. Here is the latest update on the critical water main break along 16 Ave. N.W: ❗️On Jan. 9, our water use was 504 ML which is 19 ML above the sustainable level of 485 ML. We are still experiencing a strain on our distribution system.
Site Update. Jan. 8, 5:00 p.m. Work is moving in the right direction, but we still need Calgrians to continue to conserve water. Small actions make a big difference. Find out how to save water and stay informed at calgary.ca/watermainbreak.
UPDATE #9 – 10AM (Jan 1, 2025) At 2PM today, I’ll be joined by CEMA Chief Susan Henry and Infrastructure GM Michael Thompson to speak directly to Calgarians about the water main break—what went wrong, what’s being fixed now, and how we’re preventing this from happening again. Watch: calgary.ca/live
