Show Notes

The Artemis II crew has made history with their lunar flyby, breaking the record for the farthest humans have traveled from Earth. The four-person team, including three Americans and one Canadian, zipped past the moons far side in their Orion capsule, capturing stunning views of craters, basins, and old Apollo landing sites. They launched on a free-return path, slingshotting around the moon using gravity, and will loop back for a four-day trip home, splashing down in the Pacific Friday. This mission paves the way for future crewed moon landings near the south pole in about two years.
