NASA’s Artemis II astronauts are on course to make history on Monday when they conduct a lunar flyby around the farside of the moon – a first for humans since Apollo 17 in 1972. The Orion spacecraft carrying the crew is on a course that will take them farther from Earth than any human has ever been, traveling 252,760 miles away, and breaking the Apollo 13’s distance record of 248,655 miles set in 1970.
