32:59The crew decided to name two craters. I thought this was very cool. The first one was named after integrity, which is the name that they gave to their Orion capsule. So, a lot of times, you know, when NASA mission control was talking to Orion, they'd be like, "Integrity, how's it going?" Things like that. That's because integrity is the name of this With integrity, I'm always reminded of like that South Park episode, Integrity Farms. Integrity Farms. The like the the the marijuana farm that that Stan does. So, like it's it's it's a good name, but like to me, I'm just like always like, "Oh, so there's like Integrity Farms that's going around the moon." Anyways, the second crater is actually really
33:40cool. It's named after Commander Reid a Wiseman's late wife who died of cancer in 2020. This crew, the four of them, have been together for a very long time, right? They've been practicing for this for a very long time. This has been something that NASA has been looking forward to. And so, they knew Carol Wiseman. And when she died of cancer in 2020, it was obviously very unfortunate. Commander Reid, like a single father, still going to the moon, you know, leaving behind his two daughters on Earth. Like that takes cajones. >> Look, we saw this play out in the movie Interstellar literally. >> Literally, actually.
34:20>> He had two kids. It wasn't two daughters. It was a son and a daughter. >> That's No, dude, he's literally Matthew McConaughey. >> In Interstellar. I mean, and it's it's there's a real emotional toll. Um, especially if you're, you know, a widow. >> Yeah. >> Um and you're an astronaut. >> Yeah. Dude, that's that's crazy. Yeah, I didn't even think about that. But yeah, so um the the crew named a crater after Carol Wiseman, which is I think pretty cool. >> Shout out to the crew. That's awesome. >> Yeah, kind of a hard high bar to set for all the other dudes on Earth, but you know, I I get it. >> Anyway, very nice. >> Yeah, it's great. Um I I thought that was just a really cool gesture. Um you know,
35:00it just the human part of the story I think is just pretty awesome. >> And it it is always a part of the story. I think one of the things that is so interesting when I watch space movies is there's all the cool science and technical aspects, but you can't have a space movie without the human story. >> Yeah. >> Cuz it just would be a little bit empty. >> Yeah. Yeah. The next image is the one that Commander Reed Wiseman took. Um the F 408. >> Oh, sorry. Excuse me.
