Jeremy Hansen

We knew the agency, we knew the mission, we knew each other pretty well, so it was pretty easy there.

But there's a little bit of luck as well.

I think you could take any four from our office and put them together and get a good fit.

I really do.

I believe that.

You should ask the whole crew, but for me in particular, that was the moment where there was, we were bonded at that moment.

That moment really came together

People don't know how much they should cherish Jeremy right at that moment because that moment was not planned for that time.

We didn't know when we were going to do that.

And both of my children had come into Mission Control to sit in the back when we passed the distance record for Apollo 13.

And we could look out the window and see that crater.

And Jeremy just knew it was the right time.

It was the right time to do that.

And I think for my kids, we haven't unpacked any of that yet.

I think that's down the road.

But just to know that their mom, who they love for eternity, there's a... Has a crater.

As you're going around the far side of the moon, you get the privilege of watching the only planet that we know houses life set behind the moon, just like when you're at the beach and you watch the sun set over the waves and you can just see the sun start to evaporate down in the atmosphere.

There's no atmosphere on the moon, but we could certainly watch as our home planet started to set.

When the sun sets, you see it start to misshape through the atmosphere.

If you're at the beach and you look at it over the... When the earth sets behind the moon, I've said this multiple times in different ways, I've never said it this way, but you know for a fact the moon cannot sustain life because there is no atmosphere.
