A few weeks ago, something happened in the world that I genuinely could not stop thinking about. Couldn't sleep. Sending voice memos to friends at weird hours. And even though the news cycle has absolutely moved on, I sure haven't, and I don't think you will either.

Four humans flew to the moon and came back completely undone by how much they love Earth. That's it. That's the whole thing. And I want to bring you into every beautiful, tear-inducing, quietly extraordinary part of it, including the part where the toilet broke, the part where Earth disappeared behind the moon, and the part that I genuinely think will stop you in your tracks.

Topics Covered:

  • The crew of Artemis II and the historic firsts they each carried.
  • What Commander Reid Wiseman said when he watched Earth disappear behind the moon.
  • The 40 minutes of total silence on the far side of the moon, and what the crew witnessed there that no human eyes had ever seen.
  • The Earthset photograph and where to find it.
  • What Victor Glover, Jeremy Hansen, Christina Koch, and Reid Wiseman said when they came home.
  • The story of Carol, and the moment at 252,000 miles from Earth that Reid called the pinnacle of the mission.
  • StoryCorps and their Mother's Day collection.
