In April, the crew of Artemis II got an unprecedented tour of the far side of the moon, and they brought back a proverbial shoebox full of pictures. Lunar scientist Kelsey Young stayed on Earth, and helped guide the astronauts through their <a href="https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/artemis-2-moon-photos?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri?" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">photo shoots</a> from Mission Control.

Guest: 
Dr. Kelsey Young is the Artemis science flight operations lead for NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
