Several months after returning to Earth, one of the phrases Christina Koch expressed during the Artemis II mission was revealed. "There is nothing that prepares you for the stunning sensation of seeing your planet lit up as if it were daytime," she said while aboard the rocket, as reported by the BBC. The astronaut was part of the first crew in decades to carry out a crewed flyby around the Moon, a key mission within the Artemis program. During the journey, the spacecraft went beyond low Earth orbit and allowed its crew members to observe the planet from a perspective unprecedented for a new generation. The return was successfully completed, after fulfilling all planned objectives. In addition to the technical milestone, the mission carried a strong symbolic weight: the return of human exploration to the lunar environment and a series of testimonies that seek to convey the emotional dimension of traveling beyond Earth.

"I guess I'll have to wait a bit to surf again," wrote the American engineer. To explain this phase, she stated: "When we live in microgravity, the systems of our body that have evolved to inform our brain about our movements, the vestibular organs, do not function correctly." In the video she shared, she can be seen trying to walk in a straight line with her eyes closed, while two people hold her, an activity that proved difficult for her after the trip.

Learning about this can help us improve the treatment of vertigo, concussions, and other neurovestibular conditions on Earth," emphasized the NASA astronaut. Artemis IINASALN+
