What a remarkable yet equally terrifying achievement. You’ve gotta have nerves of steel to handle that kind of distance. And to think in a few decades or so we will be going to Mars. The mental training has got to be as painstaking as the physical training

Damn, it’s 2026 and that’s the best camera they could put on Artemis?

The trust you need to have that it actually remains in moons orbit and doesn’t just keep going into.. Nothing.

My Volvo has more miles…but yeah, way to go!

I wonder what really happens during the LOS period….
I’m confused so does that mean the other people who went never went that far? But also went to the moon?

Can someone explain how this is possible when we landed on the moon in the 60s and 70s? Wouldn’t that distance be farther?

“Traveled farther…”
Farther is a word describing physical distances: KM, miles, feet, inches, etc.
Further describes a comparison not grounded in the physical world.

Remarkable achievement for humans as a species. All the bad things in the world can be forgotten for a moment.

TO ALL WHO ARE CONFUSED: The moon’s orbit is elliptical. This is talking about pure distance from the Earth, not closeness to the Moon. Artemis are intercepting the Moon at a further distance from Earth than any manned missions in the past.

Farthest* not furthest.
Literal and figurative distance have different adjectives.

I like how i never heard about Artemis until it was launched. U.S still #1 in development and innovation. Europeans and China still on the catch up game.

The amount of scientific ignorance is kind of fun and scary.

I heard they brought slingshots on the journey. Found a glitch to use against our progenitors I see.

Did the Apollo missions not go this far?
fulcanelli_here on
right about now, the moon kinda looks like the Death Star…
SignalButterscotch73 on
I’m still confused about why.
The Apollo program learned everything they could in the time they had and everything else we would need to learn now can be done cheaper by ROV.
Is Artemis just an ego trip or is there real science that requires boots on the moon?

Capcom payed big bugs for that sponsorship huh.

Crazy we were already at the moon in 1969
I know the Artemis II is super impressive, and first of its kind…
but i cant help but think, what would of happened if this world pushed for more space travel, like if we were able to work together. I think it would be possible to be even further than this, by a lot more. I guess i think, WHAT could have been… in a perfect world.

It would be wild if instead of coming into the moons orbit they just kept going 💀

First of all, I know nothing about this mission. But that they only beat the old record by 2000 miles (not even 1% of total distance) seems funny to me. As if they just wanted to get further away to reach a new record.
What do the experts think about this? Was this their goal or is there a sensible explanation for it?

And all we hear about in the UK news is that one of them clogged the toilet.
Place your bets, which astronaut did it?
