The four Artemis II astronauts will fly past the moon's far side today in a six-hour lunar flyby, the first crewed pass since Apollo 17 in 1972. If all goes to plan, they'll reach 252,021 miles from Earth, beating the distance record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by 3,366 miles. Splashdown is expected in the Pacific Ocean on Friday 10 April.
