Here’s to further and beyond and ever beyond that.

Some guy did three million miles in an old Volvo, so that subject line might need an extra qualifier.

Congratulations to all those involved.

Moar, moar, moar! This is wonderful to see! Even though people say “we’ve already done this”, now we are doing something new, even if it feels old. This is just the next step in continuing to explore our tiny corner of this cosmic neighborhood.

Will it also be the fastest? Apollo 10 currently has the record at 11.08 km/s (24791 mph). The sources I’ve found only say Artemis II’s top speed will be approximately 25000 mph.

Is that the Canadian backup astronaut 🇨🇦

They went roughly 1 Nile (river) further!

As the Artemis team analyzes the terminator topography and whatever they may be able to see on the dark side, are there any differences in the geological features the lack of sunlight would cause? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Stupid question……how is it that they haven’t yet circled the moon but they’re already further away than the Apollo missions that also circled the moon? Is it the placement of the moon right now? The specific trajectory?
Tyrvol on
Sincerely hope this record doesn’t stay around as long as Apollo 13s
lowrads on
At the time of this posting, the moon is traveling about twice as fast as the voyagers, so really, it could be considered to be coming along to collect them.

Why is NASA using the imperial system?

Wikipedia’s page on Apollo 13 was almost instantly updated with the record being broken lol.
Still, pretty cool that Apollo 13 had this record for nearly half a century. Was there any reason for Artemis 2 to have such a distant lunar orbit?

Anyone knows what’s up with the outside camera? They made such a fuss about the 4K laser link to end up streaming… that. At least the IVA is good.

This is it. If I take one more step, it’ll be the farthest away from home I’ve ever been.

When do we get the images from today? I’m following the livestream and I’m dying to see the pictures of what they’re describing
DemoPlan on
Can someone explain how they hit the record distance before the actual orbit of the moon? Did Apollo hit orbit when the moon was closer in is orbit?
general_peabo on
Okay but which astronaut is actually furthest away, like within the ship?

That’s almost as far as that guys Honda has gone.

This is the very first time a human crew has put the moon in their rear view mirror. Outstanding. I love this.
Now get your astronaughty asses back home safely.

Finally some good fucking news.

I thought cosmic rays made it dangerous to be in space?

imagine anti-matter propulsion really goes somewhere, this record could be smashed by several orders of magnitude in just a few decades

My favorite thing about this is that immediately after they accomplished this incredible milestone, they just continued on doing their routine maintenance work. This crew is amazing.

Did the astronauts play king of the hill against each other to be the one to reach the farthest point?

To illustrate, this is one quarter of a million miles + the width of the United States.
Jabba_the_Putt on
so they are traveling to the egg from the boss in super mario 2, that’s pretty cool
all jokes aside congratulations and how incredible is this!? I loved the respects paid to those before them because the men and women that made the earlier space flights possible were and are amazing people.
I have a feeling it won’t be long before we are going even farther! very exciting! I’m so glad to be here for this journey

That we know of.

I’d super pumped and would love to enjoy it but it seems like a nice distraction from other world events.
America is both number 1 and number 2 in world news global news stories as you will see if you live outside the US and are just tuning in to your regular international channel from your everywhere else country out there.

.000000043 light years. And we can see stuff hundreds of millions of light years away. Crazy.

So which of the pilots actually holds the record?

I miss the old “industrial space aesthetic” where Mission Control was row after row of white guys smoking cigarettes in front of CRT monitors.

Anyone else get teary-eyed hearing Jim Lovell’s prerecorded wake-up call for the crew?
Inquisitive_Dude314 on
Whoohooo! 😀🎉 Let’s keep pushing that record!
_thewoodsiestoak_ on
Maybe a stupid assumption. But if we can go to the moon and orbit it. How much harder is it to go to mars and orbit it. Obviously it is way farther away. But once you get in space and are traveling at whatever speed. It is just navigation at that point. And having enough food for the trip.

Congratulations to Nasa, their reward is (probably) losing 25% of their budget next year.

So bittersweet. Imagine the progress we could’ve made in 56 years if we didn’t waste trillions on pointless wars.
