As Artemis II orbited the Moon, a brief exchange between commander Reid Wiseman Land Mission Control gave fans of Project Hail Mary an unexpected high.

“We just realised we have Earth at window four and the Moon at window three, and it gives you the best idea of scale we have had yet,” said commander Reid Wiseman, describing the view from the Orion spacecraft during the lunar flyby.

“The Moon is about three to four times the size of the Earth, and it is almost full, and the Earth is just a small crescent out there. It’s magnificent... such a majestic view out here.”
