We’re excited to announce our Cardano Ecosystem Fund @OrionFund proposal is live on-chain. Over the past months we’ve traveled to meet with members of the Cardano community to listen directly to feedback and answer questions. Based on those conversations, we’ve made revisions and clarifications to the initiative. Dive into the proposal: In the coming weeks we’ll be sharing additional information and hosting a series of AMAs to answer any questions.

After carrying the Artemis II crew 694,481 miles around the Moon and back, Orion is home at @NASAKennedy! Inside the Multi-Payload Processing Facility, teams will now inspect the spacecraft, retrieve post flight data, and remove excess fuel and coolant.

The #Artemis# II crew departed the Operations and Checkout building to head to Launch Complex 39B to board their Orion spacecraft atop NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket @NASAKennedy in preparation for their launch to the Moon later today! 📷:
