"From the cabin of Integrity here, as we surpass the furthest distance humans have ever traveled from planet Earth, we do so in honoring the extraordinary efforts and feats of our predecessors in human space exploration, said Pilot Victor Glover."
"We lost a loved one, Hansen said. Her name was Carroll. The spouse of Reid, the mother of Katie and Elie. And if you want to find this one, you look at [crater] Glushko, and it's just to the northwest of that."
"But we, most importantly, choose this moment to challenge this generation and the next, to make sure this record is not long-lived. It was a really, really special moment."
The Artemis II crew surpassed the distance record for human space travel, previously held by Apollo 13. Pilot Victor Glover emphasized honoring past achievements in space exploration. The crew plans to continue their journey further into space. A poignant moment occurred when mission specialist Jeremy Hansen proposed naming a moon crater after Carroll Wiseman, the late wife of commander Reid Wiseman. The crew shared emotional reactions, highlighting the personal connections and sacrifices involved in their mission. Artemis II launched from Cape Canaveral and is set to reach a maximum distance of 252,000 miles from Earth.
