"I just had an overwhelming sense of being moved by looking at the moon. It lasted just a second or two and I actually couldn't even make it happen again, but something just threw me in suddenly to the lunar landscape and it became real."
"It was very moving to look out the window. I went straight where Christina went, and I was walking around down there on the surface, climbing and off."
Artemis II astronauts experienced powerful emotions while photographing the moon's surface, including impact craters and the Earth rising behind the moon. They captured images of the Orientale impact basin and reported seeing brown, green, and orange hues on the lunar landscape. The crew's lunar flyby involved a 40-minute communication blackout with mission control. Christina Koch expressed being deeply moved by the lunar landscape, while Victor Glover shared a similar emotional experience looking out the window. The mission is set to conclude with a splashdown near San Diego.
