"We just realised we have Earth at window four and the Moon at window three, and it gives you the best idea of scale we have had yet. The Moon is about three to four times the size of the Earth, and it is almost full, and the Earth is just a small crescent out there. It's magnificent - I got a picture of it with the wide lens. Such a majestic view out here."
"Amaze! Amaze! Amaze! Thank you, Reid."
The Artemis II crew, consisting of Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, completed a successful lunar flyby, reaching a record distance of 252,756 miles from Earth. During the mission, they communicated with Mission Control, who playfully quoted the film Project Hail Mary. Commander Wiseman described the stunning view of Earth and the Moon, noting the scale difference. The crew's experience resonated with fans of both space exploration and science fiction, generating excitement on social media.
