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
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt
