NASA Artemis II LIVE: Astronauts set to break Apollo 13 distance record on moon flyby
Watch NASA’s live coverage as four Artemis II astronauts — Americans Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canadian Jeremy Hansen — are set to become Earth’s farthest emissaries as they swing around the moon in the Orion capsule.
The astronauts will set a new distance record on humanity’s first lunar trip since 1972, a record currently held by Apollo 13.
Their roughly six-hour lunar flyby also promises views of the moon’s far side.
