NASA’s Artemis II saw astronauts orbit the moon in a mission the likes of which have not been seen in more than 50 years.
On Monday, the four-person crew — Cmdr. Reid Wiseman, specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen and pilot Victor Glover — had their historic flyby of the moon.
The mission’s showstopper event gave the astronauts the world’s first-ever glimpses of parts of the lunar dark side, which they described as being “impossibly rugged” and “alien” — and broke the historic record set more than 50 years ago by Apollo 13.
