I can't believe this thread is on page 2 and no one else has commented or shared the fact that this unique NASA crew is circling the "Dark Side of the Moon".

Now you need to pick you favourite tune from that iconic album that best represents USA supremacy.

We can't figure out how to run some heat tape on the drain line? Apparently, they had this same issue on the Shuttles, too. It doesn't seem like rocket science.
Heat tape at really high altitudes doesn't behave the same way as it does in your left-orbiting world at near zero ground level.

My goodness…


That picture is not from what the crew just saw.

Artemis II just completed its nearly hour-long eclipse experience and I listened to the transmissions of the crew for the duration of the event. Based on what they described, we do not have adequate words even in the English language to express what they saw. The brightness of the earthshine seemed to surprise the crew as they were in the moon's shadow. There was enough light from the earthshine that the crew could still see the surface of the moon. The starfield was also apparently very striking with multiple planets very visible. The sun's corona showed a lot of dynamic features that the crew explained in detail.
