1
00:00:00,833 --> 00:00:03,033
So the most exciting thing
to me about Artemis II

2
00:00:03,033 --> 00:00:04,600
is just the return
to the Moon.

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,900
We haven't been
there in 50 years.

4
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:09,066
Human eyes are going to
see parts of the Moon

5
00:00:09,066 --> 00:00:11,900
that haven't been seen
by anyone before.

6
00:00:12,266 --> 00:00:14,533
All of that depends
on the lighting,

7
00:00:14,533 --> 00:00:17,300
which we really won't
know until launch day,

8
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:18,800
but we can practice
with different

9
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:19,766
lighting scenarios.

10
00:00:28,166 --> 00:00:30,800
This is a map of the
surface of the Moon,

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,800
obviously, but it
shows what

12
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:35,600
the Apollo astronauts
could see in sunlight

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,766
while they were in orbit.

14
00:00:37,033 --> 00:00:40,033
The brighter parts are the
parts that they could see.

15
00:00:40,166 --> 00:00:43,266
The darker parts,
like this entire area here

16
00:00:43,266 --> 00:00:46,633
and places that are
farther north and south,

17
00:00:46,633 --> 00:00:49,100
are places that they
couldn't see in sunlight,

18
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,166
either because it was
nighttime there

19
00:00:51,333 --> 00:00:53,400
or because it was
beyond the horizon

20
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,333
of the astronauts.

21
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:56,400
This whole area over here

22
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,133
was not in sunlight
at the time,

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,133
and it includes this amazing
impact feature here

24
00:01:01,133 --> 00:01:02,200
called Orientale.

25
00:01:02,833 --> 00:01:05,700
Orientale is a very
large impact feature.

26
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:08,700
It's about 650km wide.

27
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:11,133
It's got multiple rings.

28
00:01:11,133 --> 00:01:13,100
These are rings
that form like

29
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:15,000
ripples in a pond
from the impact

30
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,033
but course it's on
a huge scale.

31
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:19,200
So seeing it with
human eyes

32
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,933
and sort of picking out
features that maybe

33
00:01:20,933 --> 00:01:23,133
you don't even see
in robotic cameras

34
00:01:23,133 --> 00:01:25,233
is an important goal
for the mission.
