🚀 Artemis II just made history. The four-person crew — NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Canada’s Jeremy Hansen — has crossed into the Moon’s sphere of influence. That means lunar gravity now pulls harder than Earth’s. They’re the first humans to reach this milestone since Apollo 17 in 1972.
🌕 In this video, we break down the latest mission updates:
– Entering the Moon’s gravity zone at 39,000 miles
– Breaking Apollo 13’s distance record (252,757 miles from Earth)
– Preparing for the far-side lunar flyby
– Closest approach: just 4,066 miles above the Moon
– The solar eclipse the crew will witness from Orion
📡 NASA’s live coverage begins April 6 at 1 PM ET. The crew will temporarily lose communication as they loop behind the Moon’s far side — then emerge deeper into space than any humans before them.
Key topics covered: Artemis II, lunar sphere of influence, Moon gravity, Orion spacecraft, Apollo 13 record, lunar flyby 2026, NASA deep space mission.
