The Artemis II astronauts are already the champions of a fresh new era of lunar exploration. Now it’s record-breaking time. The three Americans and one Canadian are chasing after Apollo 13’s distance record from Earth. They’ll shatter that 56-year-old record on Monday and become our planet’s farthest emissaries. Launched on April 1 on humanity’s first trip to the moon since 1972, the astronauts will swing around the moon in their Orion capsule without stopping and then hightail it back home. Their lunar flyby will last roughly six hours.
