This is a two-panel humor meme that plays on the context of successful NASA space missions and Pakistan's failed lunar mission attempt. The top panel features NASA astronaut Victor Glover celebrating excitedly with raised fists after a successful mission, in front of an American flag, overlaid with the quote "Thank you, God, for keeping us safe". The bottom panel shows a stern, unimpressed bald man of South Asian descent standing with hands on his hips, labeled as "NASA Engineers" — the joke references that many NASA engineers are of South Asian descent, and the man (a Pakistani politician) is implied to feel left out of the celebration after his home country's failed space mission, resulting in his grumpy expression.

This two-panel comedic meme compares the historic 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing to the upcoming 2026 NASA Artemis II mission, pairing iconic and relatable quotes from the missions' astronauts. The top panel features a full view of Earth from space, labeled "APOLLO 11 July 20, 1969", and includes Neil Armstrong's famous historic quote: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." The bottom panel shows the view of Earth from the moon's surface, labeled "ARTEMIS II April 2, 2026", and features a real quote from Artemis astronaut Reid Wiseman: "I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working." The joke plays on the relatable frustration many workers have with unreliable Microsoft Outlook software, highlighting that even modern elite space programs still deal with this common annoying tech issue.

This image is a screenshot of a tweet from VideoLAN's official account, showing the iconic orange cone logo of VLC Media Player displayed on a laptop screen inside the NASA Artemis mission spacecraft in space. Two astronauts can be seen working inside the cramped space capsule, with the flags of the United States and Canada visible on the wall behind them, and a NASA watermark in the corner of the photograph. The joke here is that the famous VLC cone logo is literally located 'in space', matching the meme title.

This meme combines a viral real-life photograph from the Artemis II rocket launch event with a popular gender comparison meme template, joking about modern selfie culture. At the top, text reads 'Artemis II launch... caught in my glasses reflection', paired with two photos: a wide selfie of an excited woman at the outdoor launch site, and a close-up of her face showing the rocket launch reflected in her round glasses. Below the photos is a screenshot of a tweet from verified user Ben Harris asking the critical question: 'Why would you take a selfie during a once-in-a-generation rocket launch?'. At the bottom is the meme template titled 'Photographing something you want to show everyone' that contrasts how men and women photograph subjects: the left 'Males' panel shows just a simple photo of the target object, while the right 'Females' panel shows a smiling woman with the object reflected in her glasses, perfectly matching the viral photo to answer the critical question with a playful joke.

This is a humorous meme using the popular 'person ignoring chaotic background fight' template. The foreground shows a NASA astronaut, labeled the Artemis II crew, sitting calmly at a table looking at his phone while a full brawl breaks out behind him. The fighting groups are labeled: NASA supporters are fighting against moon landing deniers and flat earthers, who all argue over the upcoming moon mission while the actual mission crew simply ignores the chaos. The joke pokes fun at how conspiracy theorists and space fans fight online while the actual mission team just carries on with their work.

This is a humorous meme that imagines the reaction of the Artemis II moon mission crew when they look back towards Earth from space, and see hundreds of bright flashing lights coming from the planet. The joke refers to the fact that thousands of people on Earth would all take photos of the passing Artemis II rocket, creating a massive flash of lights that would look alarming from space. The meme uses the popular reaction image of actor Matthew McConaughey as Joseph Cooper in the film *Interstellar*, with a shocked, wide-eyed confused expression while smoking a cigarette, to perfectly convey this surprised, alarmed reaction.

This meme pokes fun at flat Earth conspiracy theorists, visualizing their reaction when looking at new photos of a spherical Earth captured by NASA's Artemis program crew. It uses a dramatic close-up shot of an astronaut (Joseph Cooper from the film *Interstellar*) staring out a spacecraft window to represent this uncomfortable confrontation with evidence that contradicts their conspiracy belief. The on-image text contains a minor typo, spelling 'believers' as 'believeers'.
