Ep 120: What I'm Loving This Month: Artemis II Space Mission

from French Kissing Life · host Shawnna Stiver

A few weeks ago, something happened in the world that I genuinely could not stop thinking about. Couldn't sleep. Sending voice memos to friends at weird hours. And even though the news cycle has absolutely moved on, I sure haven't, and I don't think you will either.Four humans flew to the moon and came back completely undone by how much they love Earth. That's it. That's the whole thing. And I want to bring you into every beautiful, tear-inducing, quietly extraordinary part of it, including the part where the toilet broke, the part where Earth disappeared behind the moon, and the part that I genuinely think will stop you in your tracks.Topics Covered:The crew of Artemis II and the historic firsts they each carried.What Commander Reid Wiseman said when he watched Earth disappear behind the moon.The 40 minutes of total silence on the far side of the moon, and what the crew witnessed there that no human eyes had ever seen.The Earthset photograph and where to find it.What Victor Glover, Jeremy Hansen, Christina Koch, and Reid Wiseman said when they came home.The story of Carol, and the moment at 252,000 miles from Earth that Reid called the pinnacle of the mission.StoryCorps and their Mother's Day collection.Do you have a topic for a future What I’m Loving episode?!
