Welcome to Sleep from Space. NASA is counting down to
3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.960
Artemis two, which will send four astronauts around the Moon
4
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:20.199
in the coming weeks. There are currently twelve astronauts aboard
5
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:25.800
the ISS, including Olegg Kononenko, Nikolai Chubb, and Tracy Caldwell Dyson.

They're traveling at seventeeny five hundred miles per hour, watching
7
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:35.640
sixteen sunrises every day. The moon is waning gibbous, rising
8
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.359
a bit later each night. Early evening offers good dark
9
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:44.439
sky time before moonrise. The red planet takes center stage
10
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.320
this month. Step outside after dinner and look east. Mars
11
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:53.640
is unmistakable with its orange red hue. Jupiter lingers briefly
12
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.439
in the west. Here's something to think about. A full
13
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.039
NASA space suit costs about twelve million dollars. The backpack
14
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.879
and life support system account for most of that cost.
