If I was on Artemis I'd spend the 40 minute radio blackout rigging all the clocks, logs, instrumentts etc to show that 6 hours had passed, then refuse to comment on what I'd seen on the far side.
This is probably why I'm not allowed on the Artemis.

@RGBes Be fun if you could get the timing right:

"Kshhh...y god, it's full of stars..."
"Artemis, Houston, radio contact reestablished."
"Receiving you loud and clear."
"What was 'full of stars'?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing...."
