Astronauts set distance record, revealing the Moon as a place to be explored After staring at the Moon for almost eight hours Monday, the commander of NASA’s Artemis II mission finally ran out of ways to describe what he was seeing. “No matter how long we look at this, our brains are not processing this image in front of us. It is absolutely spectacular, surreal,” said Reid Wiseman, the 50-year-old Navy test pilot leading the four-person crew circumnavigating the Moon. “There are no adjectives. I’m going need to invent some new ones to describe what we’re looking at outside this window.” Live images from the Orion spacecraft showed the Moon growing larger during final approach Monday. Video from GoPro cameras outside the capsule streamed down in low-resolution format, due to limitations on bandwidth coming back from deep space, but the Artemis II astronauts were expected to downlink sharper telephoto snapshots overnight Monday into Tuesday morning. In three years of training, Wiseman and his crewmates—Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—learned how to pilot and operate their Orion Moon ship, named Integrity. The astronauts trained for emergencies and prepared themselves to accept the risk of flying the first crew mission on NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion capsule. Artemis II is the first...

'This is really big stuff.' Trump hails NASA Artemis 2 astronauts after historic moon flyby feat HOUSTON — President Donald Trump on Monday hailed the courage and grit of NASA's Artemis 2 astronauts after their historic flyby around the moon, a feat that made them the farthest-traveled humans of all time. "Today, you made history and made all of America really proud, incredibly proud," Trump told the four Artemis 2 astronauts just hours after they soared over the far side of the moon. "There's nothing like what you're doing, circling around the moon for the first time in more than a half century and breaking the all-time record for the farthest distance from planet Earth." The Artemis 2 astronauts — commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover and mission specialists Christina Koch (all of NASA) and Jeremy Hansen of Canada — spent seven hours on Monday (April 6) observing parts of the moon never before seen by human eyes. Their 10-day mission, which began with a launch from Florida atop NASA's mightiest rocket, the Space Launch System, on April 1, is the first human flight to the moon since the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972. "Mr. President, this call is certainly special to all of us … We are doing great things, and we're proud to...

Trump speaks with NASA's Artemis II astronauts after historic moon flyby On Monday, shortly after the Artemis II crew completed hours of observations of the far side of the moon, President Donald Trump called to congratulate the astronauts on their feat. "Hello to Artemis II. Today, you've made history and made all [of] America really proud, incredibly proud," Trump, alongside NASA administrator Jared Isaacman, told the crew on a call that was beamed to their Orion spacecraft. "Humans have really never seen anything quite like what you're doing in a manned spacecraft. It's really special." The Artemis II crew, which includes NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, set a record Monday for the farthest any human had traveled from Earth—surpassing that of Apollo 13 in 1970. At the farthest point, they were 252,756 miles (406,771 kilometers) from Earth, according to NASA. The crew also observed a solar eclipse, as the moon passed in front of the sun.

The Artemis II astronauts have just flown farther from Earth than any humans in history Artemis II has once again made history by carrying humans farther from Earth than ever before, surpassing the record of 248,655 miles (400,171 kilometers) set by Apollo 13 in 1970. The previous record fell today (April 6) at 1:57 p.m. EDT (17:57 GMT) as the Orion capsule "Integrity" began its loop around the far side of the moon. NASA says the mission will reach a maximum distance of 252,760 miles (406,777 kilometers) from Earth during the six-hour lunar flyby, which will break the previous human-spaceflight record by roughly 4,100 miles (6,600 kilometers). "On April 15, 1970, during the Apollo 13 mission, three explorers set the record for the farthest distance humans have ever traveled from our home planet. At that time, over 55 years ago, [Jim] Lovell, [Jack] Swigert and [Fred] Hayes flew 248,655 statute miles away from Earth," Jenni Gibbons, a Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut and capsule communicator (Capcom) on the Artemis II mission, said to the crew as they broke the record. "Today, for all humanity, you're pushing beyond that frontier." Not long after breaking the record, the crew's trip around the moon became yet more poignant as they spotted a crater between the moon's near and...

Artemis II live: Lunar flyby complete! Relief as NASA gets back in contact with astronauts After speaking to the US president, the Artemis II crew then took part in a short Q&A led by NASA administrator Jared Isaacman. He began by asking them what surprised them most about seeing the moon up close. Jeremy Hansen replied: "When we are on the far side of the moon, looking back to Earth, it's just so obvious you had this sphere out in front of you. "You really felt like you weren't in a capsule. It really just bent your mind." Christina Koch then talked about how fast the mission has gone by, before adding "I’m not ready to go home". When asked about what the crew had learned from the mission, Victor Glover said they have plenty to pass on to the crew of the Artemis III flight, which is slated to launch next year. "We've almost got a book to hand them," Glover said, before noting: "How you pack is a huge impact to how you will live on the journey". Reid Wiseman then revealed the team enjoyed a quick treat of maple cream cookies during the earlier communications blackout as the spacecraft flew around the far side of the moon. "We just gathered together for...

Artemis II astronauts fly by the Moon today: follow along with Nature live Updated 6 April 2026, 8.46 a.m. CDT (Houston time) This is Alex Witze, correspondent for Nature, kicking off our coverage of today’s historic lunar fly-by. I arrived in Houston two days ago to cover Artemis II’s closest approach to the Moon. In all my time reporting — I’ve been a science journalist for more than 30 years — I’ve covered some momentous stories, from Mars landings to the space shuttle Columbia disaster. But I never thought I’d be covering a human mission to the Moon. The mood here at mission control is electric. The press area is packed with reporters, NASA representatives and social-media influencers filming themselves. Well-coiffed television anchors are running around. There’s one main auditorium that we file into for the daily mission briefings; outside of that is a scrum of temporary work tables. Amid the chaos, I’m incredibly excited to be here in the heart of the moment. The world has many problems, and some people are underwhelmed by this mission. But for the moment, everyone here is laser-focused on the four humans who are about to sail around the far side of the Moon, in the spacecraft that they named Integrity for this specific mission, after...

Trump beams in to speak with NASA astronauts on their spacecraft after they circle the moon and head home to Earth President Donald Trump beamed in to speak with NASA astronauts on their spacecraft after they circled the far side of the moon and began to head home to Earth. The four crew members of the Artemis II mission traveled about 252,760 miles away from Earth in NASA’s closest encounter with the moon in more than 50 years. The mission launched last Wednesday in what is expected to be a 10-day trip. As they passed behind the moon Monday, the astronauts had an expected 40-minute communications blackout, but later re-established contact with Mission Control. After re-establishing communications with Earth the astronauts broadcast themselves checking in with Trump. “You've made history and made all America incredibly proud,” the president said via audio communications. “There’s nothing like what you’re doing, circling around the moon for the first time in more than a half a century and breaking the all-time record for the farthest distance from planet Earth.” As Trump sang the astronauts’ praises, they all fist-bumped each other. The crew includes Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen. Most of the crew is American, besides Hansen, who is the first Canadian to ever travel to the...

Moon fly-by sees astronauts regain contact with Earth and head for home 47 minutes ago Pallab Ghosh ,Science Correspondent , Alison Francis ,Senior Science Reporter , Kevin Churchand Emily Selvadurai Four astronauts on Nasa's Artemis II mission are on their way back home after a dramatic lunar fly-by that saw them travel further from Earth than any other humans. The crew lost contact with the Earth, as expected, for 40 minutes as they travelled behind the Moon. With communications re-established, astronaut Christina Koch said: "It's so great to hear the Earth again." Soon afterwards the spacecraft dipped to within a few thousand miles of the lunar surface and the crew witnessed a total eclipse of the Sun as the Moon blocked out its light - the first time such a sight has been seen from the Moon's perspective. The Artemis II mission's spacecraft, Orion, broke the record for human travel at about 13:56 EDT (18:56 BST) on Monday, beating a record of 248,655 miles (400,000km) held since 1970 by the Apollo 13 mission. Canadian astronaut Jeremey Hansen acknowleged the achievement with humility. "As we surpass the furthest distance humans have ever traveled from planet Earth, we do so in honoring the extraordinary efforts and feats of our predecessors in human space exploration,"...

Artemis 2 astronauts fly around the moon in record-breaking lunar loop by NASA Artemis 2's historic, action-packed lunar flyby is in the books. Artemis 2 looped around the moon's far side today (April 6), in a nearly seven-hour encounter that gave its four astronauts views of Earth's nearest neighbor that human eyes had never seen before. The Artemis 2 crewmembers also observed a total solar eclipse from beyond the moon and set a big spaceflight record, traveling farther from their home planet than anyone ever had before. A new distance record for humanity Artemis 2 is the first mission to send astronauts beyond low Earth orbit (LEO) since Apollo 17 did so way back in 1972. The current flight launched on April 1, sending NASA's Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch and the Canadian Space Agency's Jeremy Hansen aloft on board an Orion capsule that the astronauts named "Integrity." Integrity arrived in lunar space early this morning. The capsule journeyed into the moon's "sphere of influence," the region where lunar gravity is stronger than that of Earth, at 12:37 a.m. EDT (0437 GMT). About 13.5 hours later, the four Artemis 2 astronauts crossed another threshold, getting more than 248,655 miles (400,171 kilometers) from Earth. That was our species' old distance record, set...

Moon memorial: Artemis 2 astronauts name lunar 'bright spot' after mission commander's late wife HOUSTON, Tex. — Today (April 6), as NASA's Artemis 2 astronauts had their names etched into history books for becoming the farthest-ever humans from Earth, they took a moment to recognize the milestone by remembering someone no longer with us. The previous distance record was held by Apollo 13, which traveled 248,655 miles (400,171 kilometers) from Earth at the farthest point of its mission. The Artemis 2 astronauts just surpassed that, marking the occasion with a teary-eyed dedication. "A number of years ago, we started this journey in our close-knit astronaut family and we lost a loved one," Artemis 2 mission specialist Jeremy Hansen said to mission control. "Her name was Carroll: the spouse of Reid, the mother of Katie and Ellie." Hansen was referring to Artemis 2 mission commander Reid Wiseman's wife, who tragically died of cancer in 2020. The crewmembers together requested naming a crater they identified on the moon after her. Northwest of the moon's Glushko crater, on the same latitude as the Ohm crater, sits the proposed "Carroll" crater. Hansen called the crater a "bright spot" along the moon's near side that can be seen from Earth. As his crewmate spoke, Wiseman reached over to put...

The Moon Astronauts Just Broke the Record for the Farthest Any Human Has Ever Traveled From Earth Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Email address Thank you! Roughly five days after taking off from the historic Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the four crew members of the space agency’s Artemis 2 mission have officially entered unprecedented territory. The daring team officially broke the record for the farthest any human has ever traveled from Earth this evening — previously set in 1970 by NASA’s Apollo 13 mission — when they reached a distance of 252,752 miles from home just after 2 pm Eastern time on Monday. That’s a hair further than the 248,655 miles from Earth that NASA astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert reached during their ill-fated foray around the Moon 76 years ago, on Apollo 13. It was supposed to culminate in humanity’s third crewed lunar landing, following Apollo 11 and 12, but an oxygen tank explosion disabled the life-support systems, forcing the team to loop around the Moon in an unusually wide trajectory to eventually return to Earth. “From the cabin of Integrity here, as we surpass the furthest distance humans have ever travelled from planet Earth, we do so in honouring the extraordinary...
