"President Trump congratulated the Artemis II crew, stating, 'Everyone's watching it. They find it incredible... But it's going to be more and more prevalent because we're going to be doing a lot of traveling.'"
"'I said a little prayer, but then I had to keep rolling,' Glover responded. 'I was actually recording scientific observations of the far side of the moon. We were busy up here working really hard, and I must say, it was actually quite nice.'"
"'Your work paves the way for America's return to the lunar surface, very soon,' Glover told the Artemis crew, emphasizing the significance of their mission."
NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen successfully completed a six-hour flyby of the Moon, becoming the first humans in over fifty years to see its far side. President Trump praised their mission, stating it inspired the world and outlined plans for future space exploration, including a trip to Mars. The astronauts operated without real-time guidance from Mission Control, relying on onboard systems. They set a record by traveling 252,756 miles from Earth, the farthest any humans have ever traveled.
