00:18Gosh, in our first day in space, we just saw some extraordinary things.
00:23The Earth up close, and then by the time we had a bit of a nap and got up, the
00:27Earth was
00:27just so far away again.
00:29And then to come in for that trans-zuter injection, we came all the way back to Earth again.
00:34We were out there at 60,000 kilometers.
00:37We came back to within 200 kilometers of the planet.
00:40And it just felt like we were falling out of the sky, back to Earth.
00:45And I said to Reid, it feels like we're going to hit it.
00:48It's amazing that we're actually going to go around and miss this thing.
00:51It was just so close.
00:53And so to take all of that in was really phenomenal.
01:06So, very interesting that we've taken some pictures.
01:10We are now over the halfway point to the moon, and we took some pictures earlier today.
01:13And then after putting them on the computer to look closer, we found a feature.
01:18You know, the Grand Canyon of the moon.
01:20It's called Oriental Basin.
01:21And we were able to see the entire thing.
01:24Standby.
01:28We were able to see the entire thing.
01:31And so it's clear that we are not on Earth because that feature is not all visible from
01:36Earth.
01:37And so it's already special, the view that we have.
01:39And yes, the Earth is quite small and the moon is definitely getting bigger.
01:43Yeah.
01:46Yeah, we're going to go with the first way you worded the question and say affirm it's
01:51upside down in the position Jeremy is in right now.
01:55But on this, because of this launch date, something that the scientists have added for us is we're
02:00going to see an eclipse of the sun behind the moon, which would be pretty neat, actually.
02:06And we can use that opportunity to look for some of the lunar regolith lofting, et cetera.
02:13So that's something that we hadn't been thinking we were going to be able to do.
02:16But because we launched on April 1st, the birthday of the Royal Canadian Air Force, I'll just add
02:22in there, we're going to get to see that now, which is pretty neat.
