Getting close! Less than 9000 miles from the moon. Super exited and nerding out on today’s visit to the moon. Can’t wait to see more photos. There is a planned Earth Set and solar eclipse as Integrity slingshots around the moon. Here a couple essential links. One with the telemetry data https://www.youtube.com/live/6mtZ4mN-zhw?si=zQiDo4z_ZSF1BJjZ And the official NASA YouTube feed https://www.youtube.com/live/z-j1uxBmis0?si=jf4fE6NFLH5g4e4b

See you on the dark side of the moon tonight.

DO NOT! And I repeat... DO NOT get super exited. That is a really bad idea. I cannot stress enough how bad that idea is. When you get home would be a much better time for that.

9000 miles ≈ 14000 kilometres

The telemetry is alternating between miles and kilometers, but yes. The nearest approach to the moon will be about 4,600 miles, or 7,400 kilometers.
