"Jeremy, can you see us?"
"Of course, I'm here waiting for you to come home."
"We'll be taking off in an hour, thank you for waiting."
Victor hung up the phone and began to check the "Origin" parameters, making the final preparations for takeoff.
It was now January 4th, Central America time, and the Artemis III crew had stayed on the Moon for a total of 8 days and over 10 hours, setting a new record for the longest human lunar stay.
Since the second Chapter 9 landing was more than two hundred kilometers away, they didn't get to meet with the UK's payload specialists, which was a slight regret.
Of course, there were other regrets too, like the secret mission required by NACA.
Victor and Wiseman tried three times to enter the Krum Impact Crater and get close to Yu Shu and the Guanghan Palace Base to look for clues, but they either found nothing at all or were politely stopped by spider robots, so overall, they came up empty-handed.
