times i cried during nasa artemis ii flyby stream:
dedication of the crater to carroll
the messy floating group hug after the dedication to carroll
the nutella flying by (it was a cry laugh but did make me emotional because it was just so human and ridiculous)
reid (?) saying hello to his kids and making heart hands and showing off his bracelet and mission control saying "copy heart, copy bracelet"
christina was talking about seeing the moon during her status report (?) and she said that she had a moment where she realized that it was a real place that actually exists and not just a poster, and that she imagined herself walking on the surface
again when victor's report said the same thing
the announcement of beating the apollo record and the statements/speeches to follow, specifically when they said they wanted to inspire the next generation to beat their record soon
"we will continue our journey even further into space before Mother Earth succeeds in pulling us back to everything that we hold dear" ohhhh man
every time the crew gave an exciting detail in their reports and the science team at mission control nerded out. reminded me of those deep sea diving videos where marine biologists laugh at creatures they've never seen before
victor saying "hey babe" when he was told his wife was visiting in the viewing bay, hearing christina laugh in the background, and then him adding "i love you from the moon"
all of the clear & respectful communication about the light shade on the window. idk why it got me but it did. kind professionalism is crazy
pre-blackout goodbyes....real tears
"as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we’re still going to feel your love from Earth. and to all of you down there on Earth and around Earth, we love you, from the Moon." "when we burned this burn from the Moon, i said that we do not leave Earth, but we choose it. and that is always true. we will always choose Earth. we will always choose each other." come ONNNNN #hopecore #girlwhoisgoingtobeokay
the return speeches as well
"integrity, from Earth, our single system, fragile and interconnected, we copy. those of us that can are looking back."
seeing the integrity, the moon, and the earth all together in one shot. i took like 30 screenshots
mission control literally jumping up and down over impact flares
everything about the eclipse shot including the radio-in saying it was too incredible to capture on camera and "we're going true sci-fi"
my coworker in her 70s looking over my shoulder every 20 minutes and gasping and saying "that's just so incredible......i hope my grandkids are seeing this"
copy love copy bracelet is my favorite i don't think i'll ever lose that one
