And all very talented, of course.
So it's really exciting, I think, like you said, to see the first non-American, you know, in going to the moon and the first woman, the first black man.
And.
seen their stories.
They're all incredible astronauts.
I think Christina Koch has been in space something like over 380 hours or days, excuse me, days, the longest of any of them.
And Commander Reid Weissman has been an astronaut since 2009.
So this is kind of, you know, the kind of a pinnacle on a long career.
Yeah, 250,000 miles away, you know.
So this International Space Station is only 400 miles up.
I mean, you could drive it in a day, right?
So this is like way further.
Yes.
Originally, Artemis 3 was going to land, but they've delayed that, I believe, to Artemis 4.
I mean, these things are a bit in flux.
So this one, though, is going further, I think 10,000 miles or so further on the far side of the moon than we've ever gone.
And another fact I learned is they'll be traveling five miles per second, which is just an insane speed when you think about that.
Like, just think about, I mean, just imagine you can visualize five miles and you're doing that in a second.
It's very fast.
Yeah, I think in fact, there's no way to prepare for that.
