The first conversation when Artemis ii came back from around the moon, after 40 minutes without contact, transcribed:
Christina Koch: "Houston, Integrity. Comm check." Mission Control: "Integrity, we hear you loud and clear." Christina Koch: "Houston, we have you the same. And it is so great to hear from Earth again. To Asia, Africa, and Oceania, we are looking back at you. We hear you can look up and see the moon right now. We see you too. When we burned this burn toward the moon, I said we do not leave Earth, but we choose it. And that is true. We will explore. We will build. We will build ships. We will visit again. We will construct science outposts. We will drive rovers. We will do radio astronomy. We will found companies. We will bolster industry. We will inspire. But ultimately, we will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other." Misson Control: "Integrity, from Earth, our single system, fragile and interconnected, we copy. Those of us that can are looking back."
