Watch Humans Fly Around The Moon! #artemis2

Artemis II is approaching its furthest point from Earth and its closest approach to the moon. The crew will technically break the altitude record set by Apollo 13 in 1972. At the closest approach they will be just 6,000 km [4,000 miles] above the surface. I won't stay live the whole time, but here's some notable milestones: 1:56 p.m. EDT (1756 UTC): Artemis II crew surpasses the Apollo 13 distance record 2:45 p.m. EDT (1845 UTC): Lunar observation period begins 6:47 p.m. EDT (2247 UTC): Predicted loss of communications as Artemis II heads behind the moon (roughly 40 minutes) 7:02 p.m. EDT (2302 UTC): Artemis II's closest approach to the Moon 7:05 p.m. EDT (2305 UTC): Artemis II reaches its furthest distance from Earth Want to support what I do?
