<v Speaker 1>Jerry, Katy and Josh six one hundred. So I was

<v Speaker 1>driving in this morning and I was staring up at

<v Speaker 1>the big old full moon, so bright, beautiful moon, because

<v Speaker 1>I was driving into day five thousand something or other

<v Speaker 1>at the radio station, and I was like, man, there's

<v Speaker 1>four people up there right now on their way to

<v Speaker 1>the moon. It's like, how neat is that? Yeah, you know,

<v Speaker 1>it's just hard to kind of fathom and think about that.

<v Speaker 1>You got four people sitting on a little capsule zipping

<v Speaker 1>up towards that moon, and you know, you're kind of

<v Speaker 1>wondering what they're thinking about, what's going through their minds,

<v Speaker 1>how nervous they are, how are they going to the

<v Speaker 1>bathroom up there?

<v Speaker 2>What are they going to see? So many questions? What

<v Speaker 2>are what is that going to be?

<v Speaker 3>Like?

<v Speaker 1>When you approach the moon so close that you're looking

<v Speaker 1>out the window and you're like, man, I could just

<v Speaker 1>reach down and touch the moon. Yeah, it's got to

<v Speaker 1>be the neatest feeling ever it.

<v Speaker 3>Has to be. And you're right, even from you know,

<v Speaker 3>earthside here, that moon looks absolutely fabulous this morning, Like

<v Speaker 3>it is so big and bright and majestic, So you're right,

<v Speaker 3>it makes you it gives you all the fields today

<v Speaker 3>thinks about some Americans and a Canadian Canadian on their

<v Speaker 3>way to the.

<v Speaker 1>Moon at that point, don't you think it'd be almost

<v Speaker 1>a bummer that you're like, you're so close to.

<v Speaker 2>It, You're like, can't we just land on it for

<v Speaker 2>like twenty minutes?

<v Speaker 3>Yeh, can't we just go?

<v Speaker 2>Say ht?

<v Speaker 1>That is definitely four people that are they're doing life right,

<v Speaker 1>you know they are.

<v Speaker 2>They're they're at the top of their game.

<v Speaker 1>You know, when you can leave the planet rocket and

<v Speaker 1>get up there and take a peek at the Moon.

<v Speaker 1>That's uh, that makes you feel kind of small down here,

<v Speaker 1>it does.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but there's I read like there's a Colorado person

<v Speaker 3>who was an engineer. Yeah, you do with the Moon launch,

<v Speaker 3>and so it's like there's a lot of people involved

<v Speaker 3>who aren't, you know, front and center, but still are

<v Speaker 3>probably feeling the same way, like, wait, did we got

<v Speaker 3>it there?

<v Speaker 1>Yeah? We traveling just shy of seven hundred thousand miles,

<v Speaker 1>setting a new distance record from Earth, surpassing Apollo thirteen's

<v Speaker 1>mark from the seventies. I pulled the kids together yesterday

<v Speaker 1>afternoon and I had it going on the TV. I

<v Speaker 1>had something else on the laptop from NASA I was watching,

<v Speaker 1>and then I had a different feed on my phone.

<v Speaker 2>I was watching three different things. Full nerd. I went

<v Speaker 2>full nerd yesterday.

<v Speaker 1>But to me, it's like the if you start like

<v Speaker 1>watching videos on how this is developed and built and

<v Speaker 1>everything that goes into it fascinating, It's truly fascinating, and

<v Speaker 1>then the countdown and then checking everything, and then watching

<v Speaker 1>that baby, watching them like that candle yeah and send

<v Speaker 1>it up in the air, and you just see the

<v Speaker 1>power behind it, and not only all that, the patriotism

<v Speaker 1>behind it. You know, you see that big old American

<v Speaker 1>flag up on top of that. Not gonna lie like

<v Speaker 1>I was pacing. I was pacing the room waiting for

<v Speaker 1>this launch bunch because you know, I wanted the kids

<v Speaker 1>to watch it. And then you're watching the commentary and

<v Speaker 1>all these damn newscasters he bringing up the Challenger and

<v Speaker 1>the Discovery and you're like, come not now.

<v Speaker 3>I know it's not the time, but it's hard not

<v Speaker 3>to think about that.

<v Speaker 2>Because that's why I was pacing.

<v Speaker 3>The same mood way back then, was everybody was watching

<v Speaker 3>with a sense of patriotism, and.

<v Speaker 2>You know that's what I felt yesterday, and.

<v Speaker 3>So like, I understand why they would associate the two,

<v Speaker 3>but you're right, like, let's try and keep it.

<v Speaker 1>Let's yeah, let's sing a good jew out there and

<v Speaker 1>you know, make sure this goes off without a hitch.

<v Speaker 1>And it's funny because as we were watching it, and

<v Speaker 1>as it was lifting off with I was making the

<v Speaker 1>kids watch, I was like, how am I going to

<v Speaker 1>explain this if this thing blows up the kids if

<v Speaker 1>they're watching this live, did you think about that?

<v Speaker 2>It's like, what are you gonna say to them?

<v Speaker 1>But luckily it looked flawless. It was a great launch

<v Speaker 1>and that baby went up there. There's some great Instagram

<v Speaker 1>videos this morning, video from the International Space State of

<v Speaker 1>the launch, and it just looks like a little dot.

<v Speaker 1>It's the neatest thing. It makes you realize how big

<v Speaker 1>this planet actually is. But it's a little dot. And

<v Speaker 1>you see it fire off there from Florida and you

<v Speaker 1>see the little dog week.

<v Speaker 2>Up into the air and then you see a little puff.

<v Speaker 1>You know, as it you know, it gets rid of

<v Speaker 1>the engines and it breaks apart and everything and it's like.

<v Speaker 2>Ding ding ding thing. I was like, it looks so

<v Speaker 2>huge from the ground, but from space, it's just this

<v Speaker 2>tiny little thing.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Well, and then I didn't realize. Josh said it

<v Speaker 3>was gonna like spin around in the orbit for like twenty.

<v Speaker 1>Five it's the gravitational propulsion that sends it off.

<v Speaker 3>Into the Moon.

<v Speaker 2>And they'll do the same thing when we go to

<v Speaker 2>Mars too.

<v Speaker 1>They'll hook it around the Earth or the Moon, one

<v Speaker 1>of the two, and it just it's like a slingshot.

<v Speaker 2>It kind of just sends you off on your right.

<v Speaker 2>It's really neat.

<v Speaker 1>I had goosies last night as I was watching it,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm not gonna lie. I teared up a little

<v Speaker 1>bit and I was talking to the TV. My son

<v Speaker 1>was even like stop talking to the because I was.

<v Speaker 1>I kept going, go go, go, go, keep going. Let's go,

<v Speaker 1>go go. You got it, it's going, It's going you boy.

<v Speaker 2>Oh you sounded a lot like my wedding night. Actually,

<v Speaker 2>did I think about it anyway? You go
