the crew cried as they became the furthest people from earth, they named the Integrity crater after one of the astronaut’s deceased wife. i love humanity, i love how we go to the moon and we name that bright spot after someone loved. we name that crater after the spaceship craft that carried them so far. something about us being so small, barely making a dent in the universe, but still going with love.

THEY NAMED A CRATER IN HONOR OF REIDS LATE WIFE IM GOING TO CRY

New craters named by the Artemis II crew

🚨 Artemis II’s BIGGEST milestones are tomorrow. Here’s when they’ll happen: 📍1:56 PM ET (1756 UTC) Crew surpasses the Apollo 13 distance record 📍2:45 PM ET (1845 UTC) Lunar observation period begins 📍6:47 PM ET (2247 UTC) Loss of signal expected as Orion heads behind the Moon (~40 min) 📍7:02 PM ET (2302 UTC) Closest approach to the Moon 📍7:05 PM ET (2305 UTC) Orion reaches its furthest point from Earth Tomorrow is going to be HISTORIC!

Handy comparison between the Apollo's command module and Orion. Orion is slightly taller and four feet wider. Habitable volume = 210ft^3 vs 314ft^3

@ElmCityJon1 That would have to be a Lagrange Point, wouldn't it?

@NominalTLI @planet4589 What about a shot where the basketball remains wedged between the backboard and the rim? What’s the astrophysics equivalent?

Good question in the press conf: once it's in the grip of lunar gravity how come Artemis gets out again later? Because it has escape velocity relative to the Moon. The Moon is dominating its motion, but it's going so fast the Moon can't grab it hard enough to stop it.

@Forsaken_Vicar Do it...do it... Life is short! Go for what's beautiful!

For anyone struggling to understand the Artemis II photo, I made this gif for you!
