Thank you.

Right now, panel, it is time for you to answer some questions about this week's news.

Adam, a NASA astronaut says her upcoming mission to the moon has an added challenge because she will be flying so far away this time, her husband, she says, is not going to be able to do what like he usually does?

Steady.

Can I get a clue?

Yeah, well, she might have to put labels on everything in the house before she goes.

Astronaut Christina Koch talking to the New York Times about the mission of the moon said, quote, it's not like the International Space Station where we can just make a phone call.

So he's not going to be able to call me and ask where something is in the house.

He's going to have to find it.

I sympathize with the guy.

Imagine forgetting where the spare key is, but the only other person who knows is on the moon.

It's obviously much harder to communicate with a spaceship near the moon than in low Earth orbit, but you know there's no obstacle to a husband left home alone.

He'll manage.

Oh my God, Christina, there's an emergency message arriving from Houston.

Where are my reading glasses?

That's true.
