00:00I can only imagine the awe and wonderment you feel, but I want to just start by saying
00:05thank you.
00:05You are inspiring.
00:06That is not hyperbole when Jared speaks about the people of Earth across the planet.
00:13People are watching you and amazed, watching you put food packets away as we were doing
00:19just a few minutes ago, watching you float around with the floating head, and you are
00:24bringing people together all across our globe.
00:28So thank you.
00:29Thank you for your good cheer.
00:31Thank you for your eloquence.
00:33Thank you for inspiring people.
00:35I have two questions.
00:36Number one, if you could go back in time and talk to yourself at age 10, what would you
00:44tell yourself about going to the moon?
00:47And then question two, if and when they make a movie about this, who do you want to play
00:54you?
01:05Well, sir, it's an honor to be with all of you.
01:07And please say hello to all of our colleagues there at Johnson Space Center.
01:11We can't wait to be back.
01:13My 10-year-old self.
01:15I recently found some photos of myself on a family vacation at Kennedy Space Center.
01:21And we were posing in front of the Saturn V rocket with me, with my siblings and my parents.
01:27And if I could have told that little girl who took home a picture of Earthrise and hung it
01:32in her room, that she would eventually launch from that same place to see that same view,
01:37I'm pretty sure she would not believe it.
01:39But even though I still can't believe it, and she certainly wouldn't believe it, she chased
01:46that dream and it ended up happening.
01:49It's such an honor to hear that we've inspired.
01:51That's truly one of the top things that we ever wanted to do.
01:55And I am definitely not answering the movie question.
01:58That's going to be Farid.
02:02Senator Cruz, it's great to talk to you, and thank you for visiting our friends and
02:05family there at the Johnson Space Center.
02:07That is fantastic.
02:09We've thought a little bit about the movie, and I think that's way out of our pay grade.
02:14So we don't know who's going to play us.
02:16That's up to whoever decides.
02:18But one thing we do know for certain is this guy is going to be played by Buzz Lightyear,
02:23100 percent, no doubt.
02:28Hey, everybody, I know how proud we are in Alabama of the role that Marshall Space Flight
02:33Center in Huntsville has played in this incredible mission, so I can't even imagine how unbelievably
02:38proud your families are of you and how excited they are to see you soon and to welcome you
02:43back to Earth.
02:44So instead of a question, I want to let each of you just take the next minute to publicly
02:48address your children and the next generation of space explorers as history-making spice
02:54fleet, this mission enters its final hours.
02:57So thank you so much for your incredible service and your example.
03:09Thank you very much for this question.
03:10We are in a maneuver right now, so I hope we don't lose the signal briefly, but we just
03:14heard the thrusters firing on the service module to reorient us.
03:17We have a return trajectory correction burn number two coming up in just a little while.
03:22But I just want to look at my daughters, Ellie and Katie, and just say I love you, and their
03:27support has been unbelievable.
03:29I don't think they knew what this mission really meant when we launched, but they have
03:32learned through the outpouring of public support, their friends' support and family support.
03:37Really the world has come together.
03:39We have seen it, and we have seen it through their eyes too.
03:41And it has been a very proud moment for me as their father to see the joy in their expression
03:46and the way they email and communicate when we have private conferences.
03:50It's still working after you.
03:52Genesis, Maya, Joya, and Corinne, as we are on our way back from this dream of a mission,
03:59your mom and I look forward to supporting you, chasing and catching your own dreams.
04:04We spent years coaching you, but we are very much in that transition to being cheerleaders and
04:09just rooting for you in life.
04:11And to the future citizens out there, the same sentiment applies.
04:16I hope this mission is giving you something that you can take and put in your pocket or
04:20in your heart and mind that you keep with you.
04:22But it's not because we want you to see what we've tried to show you.
04:27It's because we want you to take this and build a vocabulary to explain the world to us.
04:32Wow.
04:33Wow.
04:34Why do I ever answer questions around you guys?
04:37That was incredible.
04:38That was incredible.
04:39I'll take this second to say something to my nine nieces and nephews, which is I love you
04:46and thank you for the amazing letters you wrote me, the amazing pictures you drew me.
04:51You had beautiful earths and rockets, and they truly touched my mission, and I feel like you're
04:56here with me.
04:59Well, hello, crew, and thank you for all you've done.
05:02You've inspired people all over the world.
05:05Brian Babber and I worked together on the committee to make sure you have support across the board.
05:12Your last eight days have taken place in the Integrity Orion spacecraft.
05:17Now, integrity is a quality we all strive for and hope our leaders can live up to.
05:23This mission has been unifying in so many ways and captured a global audience.
05:29What do you hope humanity takes away from it?
05:43Thank you for that question and hello to everyone in California.
05:48I hope that we connect back to when we went to the moon the first time and we started calling
05:54big things that humanity accomplished, moonshots, and we take ownership of this moonshot and
06:00realize that we can do it.
06:01And then we also think about the future and that this is just the beginning and that there's
06:06nothing that we can't accomplish when we pull all of our differences together, not in spite
06:10of them, but when we pull them together and we work on something big for the good of everyone.
06:17Good evening, Artemis II crew.
06:20Indeed, you are inspirational and you make us all proud Americans.
06:24I'm proud to represent the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics in Durham,
06:30North Carolina, where Dr. Cook attended high school.
06:34With Dr. Cook becoming the first woman and Captain Glover the first person of color to travel
06:40this far into space, what message do all of you have for the next generation of explorers
06:46who may be seeing themselves in this mission for the first time?
06:59Well, it's such an honor to speak with you and that you represent Durham.
07:02All of my family lives there and they're all flying to Houston right now, hopefully to watch
07:06our splashdown.
07:07Durham is very near and dear to my heart.
07:11There's a lot to say about that topic.
07:15I feel like for us, we don't necessarily see any one individual as deserving of anything
07:24or accolades for being a first.
07:26What we see is something to celebrate that we are in a time when everyone who has a dream
07:31has to work equally and gets to work equally hard to achieve that dream.
07:35And so, my message to those people is yes, it is wonderful to feel inspiration because
07:41you see yourself in someone.
07:43I had that growing up.
07:44You had that growing up.
07:46I think that the message, the takeaway would be you don't have to focus on just being there.
07:53Focus on excellence.
07:54Focus on being the best that you can be in any team, in any mission, contributing to any
08:01endeavor.
08:02And that will get you not only the fulfillment and meaning of your life, but you'll contribute
08:06the most to the world.
