“What struck me wasn't necessarily just Earth, it was all the blackness around it. Earth was just this lifeboat hanging undisturbingly [sic] in the universe... So I may have not learned (I know I haven't learned) everything this journey has yet to teach me. But there's one new thing I know, and that is, planet Earth: you are a crew.”

Recorded in: At a press conference in Houston following the successful splashdown of Artemis II in the Pacific Ocean (11 April 2026).
“Houston, we have you the same, and it is so great to hear from Earth again. To Asia, Africa and Oceana, we are looking back at you, we hear you can look up and see the moon right now. We see you too. When we burned this burn towards the moon, I said that we do not leave Earth, but that we choose it. And that is true. We will explore, we will build. We will build ships, we will visit again. We will construct science outposts, we will drive rovers, we will do radio astronomy. We will found companies, we will bolster industry, we will inspire. But ultimately, we will always choose Earth, we will always choose each other.”
