What if when they're passing the dark side of the Moon a spaceship from the alien base there takes off and meets them in space and then escorts them back to Earth and then the aliens land on Earth and that's the first time we get confirmation of extraterrestrial life. That would be cool...

It’s unfortunate that they’re going to lose signal when they go behind the moon. You’d think by now NASA would have a “Starlink” type array up there to keep the signal up
The problem is that the far side is open to all kinds of projectiles. We are not going to setup there so spending the billions for comms on the other side doesn't make sense. Remember this is scouting places to land/build. Everything on the far side is about providing clues to questions we have about the cosmos that can not be answered with the sun's light nor camera lenses. I've been watching this for over 8 hours, I can cope with losing signal for 40 minutes.

Does anyone know what that device is that the lady astronaut is looking thru? Is she using that to fly/aim the spacecraft?

ETA: They just said 13 minutes until comms blackout.

Less than 10 minutes to go before loss of signal.

This is quite an excellent speech being made. Extremely poignant.

See you on the other side


If they aren't playing Pink Floyd right now, they are missing out on a great opportunity.

I'm hoping they'll release a few high def photos during this time.
