Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Earthset.
The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.
ALT Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew\u2019s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth\u2019s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region.\nIn the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater\u2019s formation. Credit: NASA

For that to happen, Trump would first have to be awake. But Trump is ending wokeness. Every day. At noon.

A quick reality check.
There’s a growing trend of people claiming that reality is somehow “rendered by the mind” that the world only exists inside consciousness.
Stop for a moment and follow that idea to its conclusion.
The universe is ~13.8 billion years old.
Earth is ~4.5 billion years old.
Life on this planet evolved over billions of years.
Human beings appeared only very recently in that timeline.
Stars formed. Galaxies collided. Oceans filled. Continents shifted. Entire species lived and went extinct long before a single human brain ever existed.
Reality was unfolding long before there was anyone around to perceive it.
Which means something important.
Consciousness did not bring the universe into existence.
What the brain does produce is experience an internal model built from sensory signals so an organism can navigate the world around it.
The brain doesn’t generate reality.
It interprets it.
The car in front of you isn’t there because someone notices it.
It’s noticed because light reflects from it and reaches a nervous system capable of processing it.
Confusing perception of reality with creation of reality is where people slide into mysticism or ego-centered philosophy.
The universe does not require a witness in order to exist.
It existed before any observer.
It will continue long after the last one is gone.
Consciousness is not the author of reality.
It is a very small window through which reality briefly becomes aware of itself.

The murder of Alex Pretti is seen in at least 5 videos. The incident unfolded over less than a minute. One agent instigated. One shot. Pretti held only a camera. He had a gun, but never touched. it. The shooter saw him get disarmed, then shot him in the back, point blank. 1/
It's very obvious, when the ICE guy gets examined and released from medical care in the same day, that what "internal bleeding" is meant to evoke, in terms of an impression of a level of harm/damage of an injury, is blatant newspeak/BS.
