The NASA Artemis II crew has set a new record for the farthest distance traveled from Earth by humans, surpassing the previous record held by Apollo 13. The four astronauts are currently orbiting the Moon, reaching over 250,000 miles from Earth and capturing new images of the lunar far side. The mission is a precursor to future crewed landings on the Moon.
