Wow, what a moment, right after breaking Apollo 13's record, they asked to name a crater after Integrity and then one for Commander Wiseman's late wife Carroll. Got me tearing up right with them.

Hah! Then a few minutes later, Reid comments how the moon now appears 3-4 times larger than the earth, and mission control responds with "Amaze Amaze Amaze!"

"Amaze Amaze Amaze!"

I loved that 😁

Yeah, made me cry - a very emotional moment

That’s how the Donald J. Trump Carroll Wiseman Crater got its name then.

Ah finally some uplifting news. It might not be found on Earth but I'll take it.

What's keeping me somewhat motivated with work today, is the knowledge that there humans hurling through space, seeing and experiencing things the overwhelmingly vast majority of humans will never see with their own eyes.
