Hmmm #Artemis2 has a 40 minute LOS. This is incredibly poor performance from NASA mission planning.

The mission should have been planned to have a 42:50 LOS.

This would give them exactly the right amount of time to listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon...

@quixoticgeek to be fair, the full moon was a few days ago, so the far side of the moon isn't entirely dark right now

@quixoticgeek If you listen to "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers on the ISS then by the end of it you will have travelled almost exactly "500 miles and 500 more".
