So perhaps I should have said that.
You know, I'm saying, but they're going to the moon to orbit the moon.
So when this is part of the Artemis project.
They get close enough where they can get a whiff of it.
So if it's hard cheese, you know, they'll be able to.
Anyway, the kind of experiments they're doing.
So they're going to be ranging.
They're going to be bouncing radar off the ground.
They were going to take a high resolution photos.
They're also doing a full suite check of all of the instrumentation on board, all of the engineering on board, because the next mission, Artemis three, which will be in the next two or three years, will be landing on the surface.
And importantly, they're going to be looking at where they're going to be landing, which is going to be at the south pole of the moon where there's craters that are in permanent darkness.
And those craters in permanent darkness have H2O in the bottom of those craters.
Yeah, well, I can't help it.
You know, looking at the landing site, doing the engineering checks, all of that stuff that goes with like a dress rehearsal of the next mission.
So that's what the kind of things they're doing.
Yeah, did you hear about this?
This is the first time in the history of the ISS that they've had to do a medical evacuation.
where something was happening on board.
One of the crew members was having some sort of medical issue that could not be dealt with on board.
And that's actually saying something because there's a ton of medical equipment on board.
