Artemis II has completed its historic lunar flyby, with Orion Integrity passing behind the Moon for a 40-minute communications blackout and delivering the first human eyes on never-before-seen lunar terrain from pole to pole. On the way, the crew broke the Apollo 13 distance record, reaching over 252,000 miles from Earth - the farthest any humans have ever traveled - while dealing with recurring toilet plumbing issues that required solar warming to clear a frozen blockage. Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen captured stunning views of the far side, conducted naked-eye observations, and witnessed a solar eclipse from lunar distance. This detailed recap covers the precise trans-lunar coast, trajectory correction burns, entry into the lunar sphere of influence, and what's next as Orion heads home for a Pacific splashdown. 🤵 Hosted by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🖊️ Written by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🎥 Video from D Wise, NASA. ✂️ Edited by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 💼 Produced by Kevin Michael Reed (@kmreed).
