00:00...crash conference. We'll just be here standing by.
00:06...from here in the room and through our phone bridge, but before we kick that off...
00:09...the mission continues to perform well overall, and the crew is in great spirits.
00:16Currently, the crew is more than 100,000 miles from the Earth, and about 150,000 miles to go away
00:23from the Moon.
00:25You know, Victor said that we call amazing things that humans do moonshots for a reason.
00:34And indeed, this is literally and symbolically our moonshot that we are in the middle of.
00:42You know, it's great to get some very clear video and images of the crew yesterday, and the crew configured
00:48their cameras aboard Integrity,
00:50and we have some of the latest images to share with you.
01:14If you might or may not know that we have iPhones on board for the crew members,
01:20and they're able, not only the Nikon D5s and the Z9s that we have on board that we preloaded already,
01:27they were able to also take some iPhones as well.
01:30That's what Lakeisha's referring to.
01:32And so they'll get some great images from all those cameras.
01:36And I'll let Judge talk about it.
01:36...questions we have. Okay. We'll jump right over here.
01:40Every one of them are going to be taking pictures, and I'm sure once we get, you know, are able
01:45to downlink all of the pictures,
01:47I think you will see a suite of pictures from all of the crew members.
01:52Questions we have for today. Thank you so much for joining. We'll see all of you.
01:56We also continued some op-com passes, so the optical-com antenna that we have on board to downlink high
02:05-rate images.
02:06We were able to do that overnight.
02:09This morning when the crew woke up, they had their normal planning conferences,
02:13and then they were able to do their family conferences, so they were able to talk to their family.
02:18So it matters because, you know, the whole point is to go back to the moon.
02:24The whole point of this mission is a campaign to get back to the moon.
02:30And being able to see with human eyes the lunar surface is a huge milestone, right?
02:37And that just articulates the point, you know, that we're going back to the moon.
02:42We're going to stay there, right?
02:43And so this is the first step towards that.
02:46We'll obviously build upon that.
02:47We'll get eyes on the moon, kind of map it out, and then continue to go back in force.
02:55And I'll hand it over to Howard to talk any specifics on the Orion systems.
02:59You know, we're building a transportation system.
03:02And to have a reliable and robust transportation system, you need to test flight the transportation system.
03:08And I think that's really important.
03:10We've demonstrated on Artemis I with uncrewed capability.
03:14We've added a very important aspect of it, which is the crude capability.
03:18And that crude capability enables us to really understand how, when we have people in the cabin,
03:24how the systems operate and the adjustments we need to make.
03:27You hear a lot of these kinds of things that over the loop, you know, minor adjustments we need to
03:31do.
03:32Certainly engineering expertise and the design we put in has a certain understanding.
03:37But until you put people in the mix and you operate it and really understand what you need to do
03:43to operate in this kind of environment,
03:46you don't get that until you're in that environment.
03:48So I think that's really important.
03:50Yeah.
03:50Part of what we're doing is the technical aspects and what we are learning from taking ourselves around the moon.
03:56The other part, obviously, is what you talked about, which is capturing the imagination of people, right?
04:02And we have far more engagement than we had hoped to have.
04:07And we hope that it will increase as we continue to take further and further steps into this mission.
04:15Okay, we'll take our next question here in the front and then air it.
