God Speed.
We tuned in again yesterday afternoon for the burn as it left Earth’s orbit. It’s great to feel this excitement again!

Today, the crew of Artemis II reaches a milestone, traveling farther than any humans in recorded history, as they orbit the far side of the Moon, roughly 4,000 miles above the lunar surface.
You can watch this historic broadcast on NASA’s YouTube channel today, April 6, 2026, at 12PM Central. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-j1uxBmis0

I’m jealous for so many reasons, but including that they have a chance to see a solar eclipse not possible to any other humans!
I’ve been waiting for this since the ‘70s.
