Our job is to tell the scientists back home the things that lunar probes can't see or tell, and that is what colors do human eyes see?

What observations, large scale, do we see?

And it's a supreme responsibility to have eyes on the far side of the moon.

We hope that we'll be able to see it depending on its phase.

I like to allow space for that every once in a while.

And for me, allowing about two seconds every couple months is enough.

The enormity, when it hits me, is there and it's important.

But for the most part, I'm focusing on the mission.

When I look at humanity and the call to explore that humans have put out there, we were always going to go back to the moon and go back to stay.

And so our role is just really answering that call.

Mission specialist Christina Cook said that astronauts are the calmest on launch day.

It seems ironic, but you consider all of the preparation, the years of preparation that they put in for this mission.

Border Patrol gave Shah Alam what they called a courtesy ride to a coffee shop near his last known address.

But they didn't notify the family of where he was released.

And the address Border Patrol had for him was old.

The family had moved across town a few miles away.

You know, of course, this was a person who didn't speak English, was nearly blind.

And his son said he didn't read, write or use technology.

Buffalo's mayor, Sean Ryan, who's a Democrat, said in a statement on Wednesday that Shah Alam's death was preventable and the result of inhumane decision-making by federal immigration authorities.
