Forums - General - Artemis II mission sets new record for the furthest humans have been from Earth

Tagged games:

NASA's Artemis II astronauts have reached a distance of 406,000 kilometres from Earth, breaking the record held by the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission in 1970.

The mission is the first time humans have circled the far side of the moon since 1972.

I've found all this quite exciting. I watched the launch last week and the lunar flyby most of the day today.

Not until next decade at the earliest. We aren't gonna be walking on the moon again until Artemis IV in early 2028. Plan is to build a moon base over several missions.

A Moon Base... So cool.

Hope everything goes well. The universe is something that fascinates me. Just thinking of all the things we don't know yet...

Space exploration feels like something we can get behind as a species. Though that could be the Trekkie in me.

The "Edge of the Universe" is the biggest mystery ever for me.

Does the Universe have an Edge?

If Yes, what's outside that?

If No, how is that even possible?



I doubt that anyone would believe if they were told back in '72 that it would take human species 55 years to get back to Moon.

Yeah, sadly our leaders had different priorities. Now with our new AI overlords taking the reign soon we have a last ditch effort to prove our usefulness as a species, so that our new masters show mercy on our asses. /jk
