@joesaward @JSBMnewsletter Is it always essential for you to highlight where you’ve done something first, or been right/known something before others, Joe?

HOME.

The Artemis II crew has arrived back on Earth, ending a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon. The trip took them farther into space than humans have ever gone before, and now they're safely home with us.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

A new milestone for humankind: The crew of Artemis II are now the farthest any human has ever travelled, reaching a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth.

This surpasses the previous record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by about 4,102 miles.

And the record is broken! The furthest humans have ever been from Earth!
A truly historic moment. 🌏

Today, humans will fly farther from home than they’ve ever been before.

Today at 1:56 p.m. EDT, the Artemis II crew will surpass the distance achieved during the Apollo 13 mission, maxing out their distance from Earth at 248,655 miles. Watch live: https://t.co/ltLH8efV8Z

Watch humankind break a record.

On April 14, 1970, the Apollo 13 astronauts travelled farther from Earth than any other humans in history and captured this view of the far side of the Moon. Soon, the Artemis II crew will travel farther! Tune in: https://t.co/bNDsad4IzS

"Welcome to my old neighborhood." Our @NASAArtemis II astronauts woke up on the sixth day of their mission to a special message recorded in 2025 by astronaut Jim Lovell, the pilot of Apollo 8.

Can it really be 26 years since Jenson Button made his #F1 GP debut? Yes, it can be & indeed it is, for it took place in Melbourne #OnThisDay in 2000. Pretty car, Button’s Williams FW22. #AusGP

I ask Russians: how do you see your lives five years from now? Among the responses: “That depends on Vladimir Putin. On what mood he’ll be in.” Another reply: “Five years? If I look ahead 10 days, it’s good.” #2026

At the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon, in the most hyped Ashes series ever, three out of four of these test matches haven’t felt like test matches. #ashes
