00:00En la misión Artemis II, cuatro astronautas hicieron historia al emprender el regreso de la humanidad a la Luna tras
00:07más de medio siglo.
00:09Por primera vez, una mujer y una persona afrodescendiente forman parte de una tripulación que marca un antes y un
00:16después en la exploración espacial.
00:18Pero más allá del hito, ese viaje también es personal. Sueños, historias y una conexión única con la Luna.
00:30Con todos los otros humanos en mi vida, podemos todos mirar esa Luna, y es siempre cambiando.
00:35Mi nombre es Reed Wiseman, soy el comandor de NASA's Artemis II mission, Around the Moon.
00:39I grew up in a little town just north of Baltimore, Maryland.
00:41There was a National Guard base nearby my house, and there were A-10 aircrafts that would fly over every
00:46now and then.
00:47I just would look up at them and be like, man, I want to be up there, I want to
00:49go do that.
00:50And that just started to grow and grow and grow.
00:53I think anybody who accomplishes something that they set their mind out to, there's no one thing that does it
00:58for them.
00:58It's a combination of everything.
01:00I mean, being given the freedom to make excursions and fail every now and then and regroup and carry on.
01:06I think all those things come together in the end.
01:08There have been challenges all throughout my life.
01:10By far, the biggest challenge was losing my wife in 2020 to cancer and now raising two daughters.
01:16It is not easy.
01:17Being an only parent, trying to work a full-time job and raising two kids is something that I think
01:22about every single day.
01:23I'm very proud of the work I've done.
01:24I haven't always done it well, but I've always shown up and tried as hard as I possibly can.
01:28I do wonder what it's going to be like when we are really far from Earth and can see it.
01:34The sensation of being so far away from everything that we know.
01:38My name is Victor Glover, and I'm the pilot for NASA's Artemis II mission around the moon.
01:43When I was in fourth grade, I was 10 years old, and that's when the Challenger accident happened.
01:47And it helped me understand how the general public felt about the Astronaut Corps.
01:53These are the people that we want to be.
01:55The biggest fear that I've had to overcome in my life is doubting myself.
02:02Going to college when no one in my family had gone to college was a huge risk.
02:07I think addressing that self-doubt was a part of swinging for the fence.
02:12Apollo is known for sending humans to the moon.
02:17Artemis has an opportunity to continue the Apollo story, but I actually think it's important for this story to stand
02:24on its own.
02:25When you look at our spaceship, you can see parts that were designed, built, and integrated in another country.
02:30When you look at our crew, you see that our crew is international.
02:33There are also men and women.
02:35And I just think that makes the story even richer.
02:39I don't use the word excited because I'm focused.
02:43This is very serious, and it's very risky.
02:45If we go out there and we're successful, and we can pass that baton on to Artemis 3, that's something
02:50to really be excited about.
02:52I tell a story, which is one that my dad told me.
02:55Before the Apollo missions, when he was just a very little boy, he was looking up at the moon with
03:00his mom.
03:00And his mom said to him, don't worry, Ronnie, we'll never get there.
03:04Fast forward maybe 70 years later, it's his daughter that's actually going there.
03:10My name is Christina Koch, and I'm a mission specialist for NASA's Artemis 2 mission around the moon.
03:15When I look back at my dreams as a kid, I definitely never thought I would actually get here.
03:21I loved things that made me feel small.
03:23I loved looking at the night sky, or I loved the ocean.
03:26I loved how they made me feel and what they made me think about in the vastness of the universe
03:30and how much out there there was to learn.
03:34To see the moon, it represents history.
03:37It is a witness plate.
03:38Every single person has looked at the moon.
03:40We see the same moon.
03:41That's something really special.
03:42It's just the epitome of something that's in each of our hearts, but this also represents exploration and reaching.
03:51I have this very distinct memory of seeing an image of an astronaut standing on the moon,
03:58and I know it had a huge impact on me that humans had walked on the moon.
04:03My name is Colonel Jeremy Hansen.
04:05I'm an astronaut with the Canadian Space Agency, and I'm a mission specialist on NASA's Artemis 2 mission around the
04:11moon.
04:12I grew up on a farm outside of London, Ontario.
04:14I had a treehouse, I had a vivid imagination, and I changed my treehouse into a spaceship.
04:19I made all these dials and controls, and I was exploring space in my imagination.
04:24I believe that we all have gifts to contribute, and the goal is adding positively to humanity's existence.
04:32I love it when humanity sets big goals, like sending humans to the surface of the moon with an eye
04:37to eventually going to Mars,
04:39because when we do that, we can bring together the world.
04:42I've also learned from my Indigenous mentors that they refer to the moon as Grandmother Moon
04:49because Grandmother Moon is responsible for the water in their community,
04:52and I think that's a really beautiful thing for us as we go back to the moon
04:56to think about all the different cultures around the world and how they view the moon differently
05:01because we all share that same moon in the night sky.
