This is not the movie version. Henry S. F. Cooper focuses on the engineers and flight controllers who saved three lives from the ground. A 5-star read that stays with you.

@NASA.gov has lots of short Artemis videos on their YouTube channel (@[email protected]), however this 10h10m video of the Artemis II lunar flyby appears to be the closest to a continuous long-form recording of the live stream during that period.

https://youtu.be/z-j1uxBmis0

After almost 14 minutes of intro footage, this live recording has some amazing moments in context such as when the Integrity crew named the two craters on the moon, the forty minute “Loss of Signal” (LoS) as Integrity went behind the moon, came back out, then into a solar eclipse, and of course all the very efficient (and competent) communications between the astronauts and Mission Control (with video of both).

And quotes like Christina's “We do not leave Earth. We choose it.”

Lots of long durations of silence as well. Fitting for a recording of video from space. Also great for putting on in the background while working. The crew comms with control competency alone is inspiring.

Note: the #NASA and #SpaceflightNow YouTube livestreams I linked to five days ago are now only displaying the message:
 “This live stream recording is not available.”
a different kind of Loss of Signal.

NASA Artemis II live stream update:

Spaceflight Now has the raw feed of Houston and Integrity comms and video:

The official NASA live stream (posted previously), has switched to a NASA spokesperson and interviews of folks on the sea/ground as part of splashdown recovery operations.

Choose your live stream:
* Houston, space, and astronauts talking: https://youtu.be/M8m9YdxgJ5g
* Spokespeople/interviews talking: https://youtu.be/m3kR2KK8TEs

or pull them both up on separate side-by-side monitors like they have on the desks at Mission Control.

About an hour left til splashdown!

Houston, we've got a plumbing problem: Artemis II toilet is still on the fritz
Until the bathroom is fixed, mission control has instructed the astronauts to break out urine collection bags. The so-called lunar loo malfunctioned following Wednesday's liftoff and has been hit-and-miss ever since.
