Words spoken from the furthest humanity has gone in half a century.
In their first live broadcast, Commander Reid Wiseman and his fellow astronauts on the Artemis II mission described their view of Earth as "spectacular".
From outer space, they watched the polarising politics of their home planet fade into the distance.
But reflecting on the past week, it could equally be said of the White House under Donald J Trump: there is nothing normal about this.
Monday brought debate about potential war crimes, with the president having threatened to bomb Iran's power and water desalination plants.
His press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said the US always operated within the law, "but" would continue to pursue its objectives "unabated".
By Tuesday, he was threatening to pull the US out of NATO, again, and singling out the UK, in particular.
"Go get your own oil!" he blasted on Truth Social.
An insult juxtaposed with confirmation that the King and Queen's state visit to the United States will go ahead as scheduled this month.
The insults continued on Wednesday, with Donald Trump mocking Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron during an Easter reception.
He depicted them as weak, while his spiritual adviser, Paula White, depicted Trump as Christ-like.
"You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Saviour showed us," she said.
"They call me king now. Can you believe it?" Trump interjected, while reading about Palm Sunday.
A few hours later, he was delivering the vaguest presidential address to the nation in living memory.
Heavily billed as "an important update on the war", it brought more confusion than clarity.
A quiet Maundy Thursday? Not a chance. That turned out to be US attorney general Pam Bondi's last supper.
The president fired another high-profile woman from his cabinet, this one over her handling of the Epstein files, and for not pursuing his opponents more aggressively.
On Friday, the US lost an F-15 fighter jet to Iranian fire, one of the two crew quickly plucked to safety.
During efforts to find the second, a second US plane and two US Blackhawk helicopters were also hit.
A daring search and rescue mission in enemy territory, in the shadow of a daring lunar mission that has captivated humanity.
Christina Koch, the first woman in history to travel around the moon as part of the Artemis II mission, described seeing all of Earth through "one single pane".
An "absolutely phenomenal" view, she said.
From tens of thousands of miles away, the planet is a fragile luminous sphere without borders, where human quarrels seem small.
But in the context of an unconventional White House, the potential for a much larger war in the Middle East looms large.
The one drawback of flying to the moon is that you might not want to come back again.
Four ambulances from Hatzola, a volunteer-led ambulance service, were destroyed in the early hours of 23 March in north London.
Hamza Iqbal, 20, and Rehan Khan, 19, both British nationals from Leyton, have been charged with arson being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.
A 17-year-old boy, a dual British and Pakistani national from Walthamstow, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has also been charged with the same offence.
The group, who were all arrested on Wednesday at different locations in east London, are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court later today.
While an investigation was launched by Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP), the incident has not been declared as terrorism.
When the four ambulances were set on fire, the resulting blaze caused gas canisters stored in the vehicles to explode, and nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution.
Local residents describe being woken by the noise, with the force of the explosions blowing out windows, including those of the nearby synagogue.
The government loaned the charity four ambulances to replace those that were destroyed, and has said it would cover the cost of new vehicles.
An appeal has raised more than £3.2m to find new, safer premises for the Hatzola ambulance service in Golders Green.

Separately, two men aged 45 and 47, arrested last Wednesday, have both been released on bail until later in April.
Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams, who leads policing in northwest London, said a "bespoke policing plan" has been deployed at vulnerable areas across London, including Golders Green.
"This has involved a significant number of additional officers on the ground. It is also being supported by highly visible armed police patrols to serve as a deterrent to anyone seeking to cause our communities harm."

Storm Dave will be at its worst today, but will weaken tomorrow as it moves into the North Sea.
Travel disruption on the roads - as well as on rail, air and ferry services - is possible.
Large waves could cause dangerous conditions along the coastline, and there could be 90mph gusts in exposed areas.
The Met Office's forecast says: "While some uncertainty remains in the exact track and shape of Storm Dave, a spell of strong southwesterly winds is expected.
"Gusts of 50mph to 60mph are expected fairly widely, with 60mph to 70mph in more exposed locations."
