Astronauts Dedicate Moon Crater to Carroll Wiseman, Wife of NASA Commander

"It’s a bright spot on the moon,” CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen said, his voice breaking up, “and we would like to call it Carroll.”

The crew all shared a hug after.

So beautiful!!

One-third of Earth peeking through the window of the Orion capsule. The planet is a dreamy pale blue, swirling with white clouds and reflected sunlight. Although Earth only fills a fraction of the image it is the brightest object in the image by far. The capsule window is surrounded by a thick frame held in place with bolts, reminiscent of a heavy duty airplane window. It is dark in the capsule, but the outlines of straps and various components of the capsule are visible. Brighter white components are visible in the upper right corner. Credit: NASA/Reid Weisman

A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Weisman

#iSpace #Hakuto-R - It sounds like they are still trying to ascertain the condition of the lander at the in Mare Frigoris landing site... it has been a while about 15 minutes or so. The livestream is playing scenes of the lander's construction as we wait www.youtube.com/live/BVSMXQP...

We have lost signal of Hakuto-R M2 Resilience! We saw the signal and its Lunar reflection close to each other before LOS, indicating that it was very close to the surface when the signal disappeared. Space is hard!
