00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:03.230
When we were on the far side
of the moon and out of contact with

1
00:00:03.318 --> 00:00:06.118
planet Earth, we all knew it
and it was a milestone.

2
00:00:06.210 --> 00:00:09.070
We saw Earth
disappear, the Earth set.

3
00:00:10.182 --> 00:00:14.802
But we were so busy with the science
and we have such faith

4
00:00:14.890 --> 00:00:17.146
in our vehicle integrity, such faith


5
00:00:17.234 --> 00:00:21.730
in mission control that we were just
at complete peace and just doing

6
00:00:21.818 --> 00:00:22.818
our job.


7
00:00:23.602 --> 00:00:26.642
And just trying to do a good
job to collect as much science data

8
00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:29.430
as we could while we were
on the far side of the moon,

9
00:00:29.530 --> 00:00:30.822
and we were just giddy in here.


10
00:00:32.031 --> 00:00:36.172
Of our lives he's being a bit humble
but as soon as we went

11
00:00:36.260 --> 00:00:39.576
out of com with planet earth
we did have maple cookies

12
00:00:39.664 --> 00:00:43.256
as we just gathered together
for about 30 seconds each

13
00:00:43.344 --> 00:00:46.276
one of us had a maple cream cookie
and then right back into the science

14
00:00:46.364 --> 00:00:50.156
but we had to take a moment to honor
to honor that time going behind

15
00:00:50.244 --> 00:00:53.096
earth and it was a very
or i'm sorry going behind the moon

16
00:00:53.184 --> 00:00:55.692
and out of touch with earth
and that was a very surreal moment

17
00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:56.410
for this group.


18
00:00:56.498 --> 00:00:59.442
We just basically got
to sit at the vehicle, it was

19
00:00:59.530 --> 00:01:00.110
Jeremy and I


20
00:01:00.198 --> 00:01:04.966
this time, and just drive around
using the rotational hand

21
00:01:05.054 --> 00:01:07.406
controller, basically just drive
it with a stick, and

22
00:01:07.494 --> 00:01:11.326
how well it handled,
how tight the control algorithms

23
00:01:11.414 --> 00:01:14.750
were, and so it was just amazing


24
00:01:14.838 --> 00:01:19.698
to be in a deep space spacecraft
and just be flying it around by hand.

25
00:01:20.190 --> 00:01:24.300
The one other thing I'll say,
how fast it has gone by.

26
00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:26.320
I'm not ready to go home.
