The Launch Pad

Huge shoutout to the incredible students and teachers at E2 Academy Edmonton! 🚀

Zac dropped in last week for an "Ask the Expert" day, and it was an absolute blast. After a quick presentation about his own journey and where humanity is headed next, the floor opened up for two massive Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions.

The questions were next-level, even challenges some of Zac's knowledge! We talked about everything from NASA and SpaceX to the Artemis Accords, plans for the first Moon base, the brutal challenges of becoming multi-planetary on Mars, and so much more.

We were incredibly moved by what the team at E2 Academy shared about the visit:

"I don’t think anyone has ever captured the kids’ attention more. The excitement, curiosity, and thoughtful questions from our students made this such an awesome experience for everyone involved. Hearing about Artemis II and Zachary’s journey as a successful YouTuber inspired so many future explorers, scientists, engineers… and of course every kid’s big dream these days, becoming a successful YouTuber themselves!" — E2 Academy Edmonton

Thank you for having us, E2 Academy!

The Launch Pad

Honoring a Mission. Honoring a Legacy. 🇺🇸🚀
We are deeply honored to have received a United States flag that was flown over the U.S. Capitol in recognition of our coverage of NASA’s Artemis II mission.

This flag was flown at the request of Congresswoman U.S. Representative Young Kim in commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary, and is dedicated in loving memory of Bruce Lawrence Aubert, the grandfather of our founder, Zachary Aubert

Artemis II represented more than a return to deep space; it carried with it the stories, people, and legacies that inspire humanity to explore beyond Earth.

From the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Complex 39B, through liftoff, lunar flyby, and safely back to Earth with splashdown, Artemis II marked a historic step forward—and we are proud to have shared that moment with the world.

This flag now holds a permanent place in TLP’s story—a lasting symbol of this mission, this moment in history, and the legacy it represents.
