Somewhere near its western edge is Carroll Crater, newly named by the Artemis II crew for the deceased wife of Commander Reid Wiseman. What a profoundly human gesture — to grace Luna with names tied to the rhythms of our lives, and to love.

It was unexpected and fun.

And yes, the naming of Carroll Crater was deeply moving — I was watching the livestream from the spacecraft when they did this. Was very touched by how they embraced and shed tears as they suggested the name.🥹

And such a sad but beautiful thing to name the crater after his late wife.

I’m shy in person (plus I have the natural New Yorker caution instincts) but these folks were lovely and it felt good to spread some moon joy. I even impulsively called out @appagalcrochet’s catchphrase, “Keep looking up,” as they were walking away. I guess I’m a proper ambassador for Luna now.😁

Keep looking up!
