Artemis astronauts more than halfway to Moon, putting Earth in rearview

The Artemis II astronauts have passed the halfway point between Earth and the Moon, reaching this milestone about two days after launching from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Christina Koch expressed the crew's joy at seeing the Moon through the Orion spacecraft's window, which is over 229,000 kilometers from Earth. The astronauts, including Jeremy Hansen, Victor Glover, and Reid Wiseman, are preparing for a lunar flyby next week, a feat not accomplished in over 50 years.
