The crew traveling deeper into space than any other humans before.

It was a record-breaking trip around the moon.

There was a moment about an hour ago where Mission Control Houston reoriented our spacecraft as the sun was setting behind the Earth.

And I don't know what we all expected to see in that moment, but you could see the entire globe from pole to pole.

You could see Africa, Europe, and if you looked really close, you could see the northern lights.

It was the most spectacular moment, and it paused all four of us in our tracks.

And Integrity, Launch Director.

Reed, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy, on this historic mission, you take with you the heart of this Artemis team, the daring spirit of the American people and our partners across the globe, and the hopes and dreams of a new generation.

Good luck.

Godspeed, Artemis II.

Let's go.

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

Integrity, GPS processing.
