YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"It is so great to hear from Earth again," Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch said Monday evening after the Orion space capsule reestablished communications with mission control upon emerging from behind the moon.
"When we burned this burn towards the moon, I said that, 'We do not leave Earth, but we choose it.' And that is true," she continued. "We will explore. We will build. We will build ships, we will visit again. We will construct science outposts. We will drive rovers. We will do radio astronomy. We will found companies. We will bolster industry. We will inspire. But ultimately, we will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other."
