Live: Artemis II's record-breaking lunar flyby - CNN
The highly anticipated lunar flyby of the Artemis II mission will take four astronauts on a pioneering survey of the moon Monday, including the rarely glimpsed lunar far side, which always faces away from Earth. The Artemis II crew is expected surpass the record previously set by the Apollo 13 crew in 1970 for the farthest humans have ever traveled from Earth.
The crew, including NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, will see features on the lunar surface that human eyes have never observed before. - Aired on 04/06/2026
