"Artemis II is now closer to the Moon than Earth", NASA: The crew is

NASA has announced that the Artemis II crew is now closer to the Moon than Earth. “Reid (Wiseman), Victor (Glover), Christina (Koch) and Jeremy (Hansen) are now closer to the Moon than Earth,” said Mission Management Team Leader John Honeycutt.

During the flight on Monday, the crew is expected to witness a rare 53-minute solar eclipse from deep space, providing a unique perspective on the mission.

“The Sun will pass behind the Moon from their perspective, creating a solar eclipse that is very unique to this mission,” said Artemis Science Flight Operations Manager Dr. Kelsey Young.

Officials say the mission is a key step toward a long-term human presence beyond Earth.

"I hope people say that this made possible a sustained presence on the Moon, that we are now living and working regularly on the Moon after 50 years ," said Artemis II Ascent Flight Director Judd Frieling.

 

"The crew is feeling pretty good up here on our way to the Moon ," astronaut Jeremy Hansen said. " Humanity has shown once again what it is capable of."

“You can see the entire globe from pole to pole, you can see Africa, Europe and, if you look closely, the northern lights,” Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman said in a live broadcast from space, describing the moment the crew saw the Earth as a whole. “It was the most spectacular moment of our lives ,” he said, noting that the Earth looked magnificent from above.

The capsule with the four astronauts is expected to arrive near the Moon on April 6. The views outside their windows will become increasingly inspiring and beautiful.

While NASA's Artemis II crew won't make a landing on the Moon, their mission will pave the way for future human steps on the lunar surface. NASA says that during this mission, the crew will "analyze and photograph geological features," which will help future missions explore the Moon's South Pole region.
