The crew of Artemis II made history on April 6 as they passed on the far side of the moon, observing previously unseen craters and proposing a name to forever memorialize commander Reid Wiseman's wife.

00:00Integrity Crew!
00:02On April 15, 1970, during the Apollo 13 mission, three explorers set the record for the farthest
00:10distance humans have ever traveled from our home planet.
00:13At that time, over 55 years ago, Lovell, Swigert and Hayes flew 248,655 statute miles away
00:24from Earth.
00:25Today, for all humanity, you're pushing beyond that frontier.
00:30Integrity, over to you.
00:31Yeah, from the cabin of Integrity here, as we surpass the furthest distance humans have
00:39ever traveled from planet Earth, we do so in honoring the extraordinary efforts and feats
00:46of our predecessors in human space exploration.
00:50We will continue our journey even further into space before Mother Earth succeeds in
00:55pulling us back to everything that we hold dear.
00:59But we, most importantly, choose this moment to challenge this generation and the next to
01:06make sure this record is not long-lived.
01:10The moon is still getting noticeably bigger as we go, even when you're watching it continuously.
01:16It's great to see these two guys get warmed up.
01:19Our science team helped us out with a couple of relatively fresh craters on the moon that
01:26have not been previously named.
01:27And our crew would like to propose a couple of potential names for those items or those areas.
01:34And we spent a bit of time this morning looking out the window and we're able to see them now,
01:40both with our naked eye and through the long lens.
01:43And so we feel this is a good time to send this down.
01:46And a special shout out to Kelsey for helping us with this.
01:50The first one we'd like to suggest is a named crater in honor of our great spacecraft integrity.
01:59And so if you were to look at Oriental on the far side and then draw a line straight up
02:05to
02:05Ohm on the far side, relatively in the middle is an unnamed crater.
02:10And we would like to suggest it be called integrity in the future.
02:17And the second one, and especially meaningful for this crew, is a number of years ago we started
02:24this journey in our close-knit astronaut family and we lost a loved one.
02:30And there's a feature in a really neat place on the moon and it is on the near side, far
02:36side boundary.
02:37In fact, it's just on the near side of that boundary.
02:40And so at certain times of the moon's transit around Earth, we will be able to see this from Earth.
02:49And so we lost a loved one, her name was Carol.
02:54That's supposed to read, the mother of Katie and Ellie.
03:01And if you want to find this one, you look at Glushko.
03:06And it's just to the northwest of that, at the same latitude as Ohm, and it's a bright spot on
03:12the moon.
03:15And we would like to call it Carol, and you spell that C-A-R-R-O-L-L.
03:26To get back to closer to the sky, you should the north of that ray of might be quite UEFI.
03:33To be continued.
03:33To be continued.
03:34For 열쇠, he is reasons the favorite of this.
03:35Perhaps this conversation will be a place for Agreee, Source after all 3 safes.
03:40To be continued.
03:40And we'll be here.
03:47I love bringing s görevi possibilities to that I did, and it's only possible.
