Artemis II Astronauts Confront "Indescribable" Views, Seek New Vocabulary
Artemis II pilot Victor Glover communicated to ground crew that the observations from space were challenging to describe.
He suggested that human perception might not be adapted to the sights they were encountering.
Another astronaut echoed this sentiment, describing the views as "indescribable" and "spectacular, surreal." They noted a distinct lack of adequate vocabulary for what they witnessed.
As Glover identified an orange object, mission control confirmed it was likely Mars, highlighting it as a future destination.
The crew jokingly requested additional superlatives for their upcoming mission summary to assist with their descriptions.
