Artemis II Lunar Flyby Footage

Artemis II Lunar Flyby Footage

The once-in-a-lifetime view, last witnessed during the Apollo missions, shows Earth shrinking to a crescent before vanishing into deep space.

Crew members joined in awe as the footage highlighted the Moon's desolate surface against the vibrant blue of our home planet.

Pilot Victor Glover also shared his experiences of manually flying the Orion spacecraft during the mission's most critical phases.

The Artemis II mission is a key step in NASA's plan to return humans to the lunar surface and eventually reach Mars.
