Moon Beams

At one point yesterday, the Artemis II team was on the other side of the moon and completely out of contact with Earth (making them the happiest humans in the universe). They traveled farther from the Earth than any humans had ever gone before, and they’ve got the photos to prove it. Moon Joy: Photos From Artemis II.

+ “As the astronauts of Artemis II traveled farther from Earth than any humans before them, they paused. Speaking solemnly, they called down to mission control to request that an unnamed crater on the moon be dedicated to Carroll Wiseman, the wife of mission commander Reid Wiseman, who died of cancer in 2020.”

+ Not satisfied ruining everything on Earth, Trump called the astronauts to ruin a little of their trip. (The next thing NASA needs to invent: Intergalactic voicemail.)
