00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.334
(music throughout)

2
00:00:01.334 --> 00:00:03.370
Dude, no way!

3
00:00:03.370 --> 00:00:05.438
Dude, come on!

4
00:00:05.438 --> 00:00:08.441
This is the most ridiculous thing
I've ever seen in my entire life.

5
00:00:08.475 --> 00:00:09.609
(laughter)

6
00:00:09.609 --> 00:00:12.612
I’ll let Reid annotate now.

7
00:00:13.046 --> 00:00:13.947
Oh, I just saw a meteorite

8
00:00:13.947 --> 00:00:14.981
I just saw a flash.

9
00:00:14.981 --> 00:00:16.182
Really? 100%.

10
00:00:16.182 --> 00:00:18.785
I just saw a flash Integrity science.

11
00:00:18.785 --> 00:00:21.354
you mentioned Reid observing meteors.

12
00:00:21.354 --> 00:00:22.555
Can you speak to that?

13
00:00:22.555 --> 00:00:26.860
Were you referring to comets or impact
flashes or something else?

14
00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:29.029
Yeah, there was a little bit of giddiness.

15
00:00:29.029 --> 00:00:31.564
We have seen three impact flashes so far.

16
00:00:31.564 --> 00:00:34.167
I saw two and Jeremy had seen one.

17
00:00:34.167 --> 00:00:36.302
Undoubtedly, oh Jeremy saw two.

18
00:00:36.302 --> 00:00:37.070
So that's four total.

19
00:00:37.070 --> 00:00:39.305
Undoubtedly. Quick impact flashes.

20
00:00:39.305 --> 00:00:42.375
It was not sunglint off of particulate from the thrusters.

21
00:00:43.143 --> 00:00:46.112
or the purge tanks. It was definitely impact flashes.

22
00:00:46.946 --> 00:00:49.949
And Jeremy just saw another one.

23
00:00:50.016 --> 00:00:52.952
(cheering) Amazing news.

24
00:00:52.952 --> 00:00:55.455
I literally just looked over at the SER, and they were jumping up
and down, literally.

25
00:00:55.455 --> 00:00:59.893
I don't know if I expected to
to have the crew see any on this mission.

26
00:00:59.893 --> 00:01:03.730
So you probably saw the surprise
and shock on my face. Impact flashes are caused

27
00:01:03.730 --> 00:01:06.733
by micrometeorites impacts
hitting the Moon, and they really help.

28
00:01:06.733 --> 00:01:08.668
Tell us
about the dynamic lunar environment,

29
00:01:08.668 --> 00:01:11.538
which is, of course, also important
when we think about future missions.

30
00:01:11.538 --> 00:01:13.339
should you see an impact flash

31
00:01:13.339 --> 00:01:16.276
And should the person on the other
end of the phone

32
00:01:16.276 --> 00:01:16.910
Oh yeah.

33
00:01:16.910 --> 00:01:19.412
Know that somewhere
Noah and I are screaming.

34
00:01:20.580 --> 00:01:21.848
And though I was not in the

35
00:01:21.848 --> 00:01:25.418
science evaluation room, I heard that
there were audible screams of delight.

36
00:01:25.452 --> 00:01:29.422
If you could describe
where on the Moon you saw them, please.

37
00:01:29.722 --> 00:01:30.023
All right.

38
00:01:30.023 --> 00:01:31.157
So Jeremy has seen them

39
00:01:31.157 --> 00:01:35.028
kind of on and south of the equator,
kind of spread across the Moon.

40
00:01:35.028 --> 00:01:39.099
And mine were both south of the equator
and just a little bit left

41
00:01:39.099 --> 00:01:42.102
of center of the Moon.

42
00:01:42.102 --> 00:01:43.002
They’re not like shooting stars or anything.

43
00:01:43.002 --> 00:01:45.271
They’re just like a (boop) and they’re tiny.

44
00:01:45.271 --> 00:01:46.773
really leaves us speechless.

45
00:01:46.773 --> 00:01:49.509
it's just this is it's indescribable.

46
00:01:49.509 --> 00:01:49.943
truly, Kelsey.
