00:00We recently received confirmation that the Orion spacecraft and its crew
00:04have officially entered the Lunar Sphere of Influence.
00:07That milestone taking place at a mission elapsed time of 4 days, 6 hours, 2 minutes, and 54 seconds
00:15into the Artemis II mission.
00:18By reaching this milestone, it means that the gravitational forces of the Moon
00:23are now greater on the Orion spacecraft than that of Earth.
00:26I'd also like to share that we noticed we entered the Lunar Sphere of Influence about an hour ago,
00:33and sure enough, we are now falling to the Moon rather than rising away from Earth.
00:39It is an amazing milestone.
00:42Also earlier, we had the Earth out as a crescent, out the side hatch, and the Moon out Window 3,
00:49and definitely, by far, the Moon is bigger than the Earth.
