Artemis II crew bonded forever after historic lunar flyby
TL;DR Summary
After a 10‑day lunar flyby, NASA’s Artemis II quartet—Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen and Victor Glover—returned to Earth aboard Orion, becoming the first humans to view the Moon’s far side and setting a new distance record. The mission also marked historic firsts: Koch as the first woman, Glover as the first person of color, and Hansen as the first non‑American on a lunar mission, with the crew describing an enduring bond and Earth as a lifeboat as NASA eyes Artemis III for 2027 (landing) and Artemis IV in 2028.
