Wow, what a moment, right after breaking Apollo 13's record, they asked to name a crater after Integrity and then one for Commander Wiseman's late wife Carroll. Got me tearing up right with them.
Hah! Then a few minutes later, Reid comments how the moon now appears 3-4 times larger than the earth, and mission control responds with "Amaze Amaze Amaze!"
I loved that ๐
Yeah, made me cry - a very emotional moment
Thatโs how the Donald J. Trump Carroll Wiseman Crater got its name then.
