Artemis astronauts travel further from Earth than any humans before (bbc.co.uk)

NASA’s Artemis II crew has broken the human record for the furthest distance traveled from Earth, surpassing the Apollo 13 mark while continuing to move outward on a loop around the Moon. The four astronauts are conducting lunar observations from Orion, sharing photos and using a range of digital cameras as they fly past the far side. During the mission they also chose to name a Moon crater after Reid Wiseman’s late wife, Carroll, and the report outlines the next communication loss behind the Moon and their planned return.
