Artemis II crossed behind the Moon, and astronaut Victor Glover used the silence to share a Christian message about love, creation, and the view from deep space.
NASA's Artemis II crew has started its moon flyby, reached the farthest point any human has ever been from Earth, and sent back a neat stack of firsts along the way.
A viral ISS photo had some people seeing alien life. NASA astronaut Don Pettit said the mystery object was just a purple potato, while NASA keeps spending big on the moon.
NASA says a second fueling test went well and the agency is aiming to launch Artemis II on March 6. Four astronauts will ride the SLS and Orion on the first crewed lunar flight since 1972, but a few technical and review steps remain.
