00:02They've been around the moon and back, and now the Artemis 2 crew is talking about what that experience was
00:08really like.
00:09Millions watched as the Orion capsule splashed down in the Pacific last Friday, with Navy crews pulling Reed Wiseman, Victor
00:16Glover, Christina Cook, and Jeremy Hansen to safety.
00:20The crew traveled farther than any astronauts in American history, and they say the experience forged a bond that will
00:27last a lifetime.
00:28Like, this was an unbelievable adventure, and it was made possible by this crew and the support of each other
00:35throughout the whole thing.
00:35And I've said it so many times, we are just, we are bonded forever.
00:39I mean, that's the closest four humans can be and not be a family.
00:42We're all kind of struck by these things that make us feel small.
00:45And that, the sense I had was this sense of fragility and feeling small, infinitesimally small.
00:52But yet, this very powerful feeling as a human being, like as a group.
00:58Christina Cook says two moments stuck with her.
01:01First, seeing Earth from deep space, small and distant as they circled the moon.
01:07And second, the return home.
01:08Reentry was so intense, she says the Orion capsule became a blazing fireball, almost impossible to look at as it
01:16tore back through the atmosphere.
01:17Thank youəm.
