00:00You're getting your first live look at Orion, the moon, and the earth. Everyone
00:08in this picture.
00:12This is a live view from the Orion spacecraft. Currently aboard Orion, four
00:20crew members, Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Cook, and Jeremy Hansen. And on
00:28the earth, all of us, all of humanity. You can see the moon is starting to get a
00:35little bit dimmer as the astronauts are going to pass behind it. Now six minutes
00:40and 26 seconds away from that loss of signal. Again, we will be out of
00:44communication with them for about 40 minutes until they come around the other
00:49side of the moon and we can re-establish contact.
00:57Integrity Houston, you are six minutes from your 40-minute lunar flyby LOS. From all of
01:06us, it's a privilege to witness you carrying the fire past our farthest reach. Thank you.
01:12Godspeed. Thank you for that, Jenny. And thank you to all of you for allowing us the immense
01:21privilege to be on this journey together. It's quite amazing. And as we go on this journey,
01:30thinking about the NASA mission to explore the unknown in air and space, to innovate for the benefit of
01:37humanity and to inspire the world through discovery. And as you've gone along on this journey with us,
01:42hopefully we're doing just those things. And as we get close to the nearest point to the moon and
01:47farthest point from Earth, as we continue to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos, I would like to
01:57remind you of one of the most important mysteries there on Earth, and that's love. Christ said in response
02:04to what was the greatest command, that it was to love God with all that you are. And he also,
02:12being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it, and that is to love your neighbor as yourself.
02:17And so as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we're still going to feel your love from Earth,
02:27and to all of you down there on Earth, and around Earth, we love you from the moon.
02:41Houston copies. We'll see you on the other side.

03:24Poignant words from NASA astronaut,
03:26Victor Glover and a little bit of a love letter from the other side of the moon
03:31all the way to earth.
03:34Glover touching on the teachings of Jesus,
03:37including to love your neighbor as yourself.
03:40We are now less than three minutes away from loss of signal with the Orion astronauts.
03:49The Artemis 2 crew will be out of signal for about 40 minutes
03:53as they are on the other side of the moon,
03:55continuing their work, photographing the lunar surface,
03:59and they will reemerge.
04:01And we will also get this view on the other side.
05:03Just about a minute and a half now,
05:04until we lose communication with the astronauts aboard Orion
05:08on the Artemis 2 mission.
05:11Now, five days and six minutes since their launch on April 1st.
05:17Again, we'll be out of communication for about 40 minutes.
05:22And this really beautiful view of a crescent moon and a crescent earth.
05:29How great thou art.
06:0830 seconds now until we expect loss of signal.
07:23And we have confirmation of loss of signal of the Orion spacecraft
07:28as it flies behind the moon.
07:30We expect to regain communications with them
07:32for in another approximately 40 minutes.
07:35This was expected as their spacecraft is now out of direct line of sight
07:40with Earth and behind the moon.
07:42And this is a poignant moment as it's the first time in over 50 years
07:46that we have humans completely unreachable by anyone else on Earth.
07:50No matter how distant or secluded, we could reach anyone living on Earth.
07:54But while the crew flies behind the moon, it's simply impossible to make contact with them.
08:00This is a live view inside the Science Evaluation Room here at Johnson Space Center
08:05and just down the hall from Mission Control.
08:08This team has been monitoring the flyby all day
08:11as the team has continued capturing targets on the lunar surface.
08:17This team has been monitoring the flyby all day as it's the first time in the lunar surface.
08:19This team has been monitoring the flyby all day as it's the first time in the lunar surface.
08:24This team has been monitoring the flyby all day as it's the first time in June ofol.
08:24The actual Giamb acabboard is currently on Earth and should have chosen by the sunset
