NASA’s Artemis II crew flew the Orion spacecraft around the Moon, reaching a closest approach of 4,067 miles and setting a new record distance from Earth of 252,756 miles. Commander Reid Wiseman marveled at the lunar view as the astronauts streamed low-res video and prepared to downlink higher-resolution images overnight. This marks the first human mission near the Moon in over 53 years, with the crew using geology and photography training to document the surface.
