- 0:03Speaker 2: meet you. It's one of six point seven light FM.
- 0:05Speaker 2: And before we make you cry here in a second,
- 0:07Speaker 2: I just realized something. When Miles Smith started, you know
- 0:10Speaker 2: the song begins, Listen to this right here. It just
- 0:15Speaker 2: hit me. It reminds me, it reminds me of this.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Hey, oh yeah, you came back early. But well, John Denver,
- 0:29Speaker 3: come on, you just started a lawsuit.
- 0:33Speaker 2: It all started here on light FM. All right, So
- 0:36Speaker 2: yesterday at this time you weren't here, but I was
- 0:39Speaker 2: talking with Nina about Artemis, and it was approaching the
- 0:41Speaker 2: moon and it's a fantastic day yesterday. They're now heading
- 0:45Speaker 2: home as we speak. But did you hear about the
- 0:48Speaker 2: emotional moment?
- 0:49Speaker 1: I did.
- 0:50Speaker 2: So.
- 0:51Speaker 3: They had the opportunity, the crew to name two craters
- 0:54Speaker 3: exactly and one they have designated Integrity to reflect the
- 1:00Speaker 3: name of their spacecraft. But the second was a little
- 1:03Speaker 3: more personal.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Right, you nailed it.
- 1:05Speaker 2: It was very emotional. And here's a clip from Artemis
- 1:07Speaker 2: IWO yesterday.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Second and the second one, and especially meaningful for this crew,
- 1:17Speaker 1: is a number of years ago we started this journey
- 1:20Speaker 1: in our close knit astronaut family, and we lost a
- 1:23Speaker 1: loved one. And there's a there's a feature and a
- 1:27Speaker 1: really neat place on the Moon and it is on
- 1:30Speaker 1: the near side far side boundary. In fact, it's just
- 1:33Speaker 1: on the near side of that boundary, and so at
- 1:36Speaker 1: certain times of the moons transit around Earth, you can
- 1:42Speaker 1: we will be able to see this from Earth. And
- 1:44Speaker 1: so we lost a loved one. Her name was Carol.
- 1:49Speaker 1: They're supposed to read the mother of Katie and Elie.
- 1:55Speaker 1: He's good, pretty emotionally and if you want to find
- 1:58Speaker 1: this one, you look at Glucto and it's suggested to
- 2:02Speaker 1: the northwest of that, at the same latitude as home,
- 2:05Speaker 1: and it's a it's a bright spot on the.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Moon anyway, So he was getting pretty emotional broken up,
- 2:11Speaker 2: and his fellow astronauts were patting him on the back,
- 2:13Speaker 2: and they're naming it Carol, Yes, after his.
- 2:16Speaker 3: Late wife, Yes, of Mission Commander Reid Wiseman.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Yeah, so he can always look up at the moon.
- 2:22Speaker 3: Oh and see Carol.
- 2:23Speaker 2: You know, I mean, that's.
- 2:24Speaker 3: That is really beautiful.
- 2:26Speaker 2: I'm not crying your cry, I know, I know.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Oh that's so so covey. You had said to me,
- 2:32Speaker 3: like This was years ago that they've been planning, right,
- 2:35Speaker 3: this crew, and they've been working together. I don't even
- 2:37Speaker 3: think I realized for years.
- 2:38Speaker 2: I think it might be over ten years.
