On April 1, the Artemis II crew officially started their 10-day mission to the moon from Launch Complex 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The primary goal of the expedition was to “serve as a crewed test flight to validate the systems and procedures necessary for humans to safely explore deep space,” as cited by NASA. “It acted as a critical bridge between the uncrewed Artemis I mission and future lunar landings.”
Following the 10-day mission, the Artemis II crew, traveling aboard the Orion spacecraft, broke the record for the farthest distance traveled in human spaceflight, previously set by the Apollo 13 mission 56 years ago.
In addition, the recent expedition marked the first time in history that the crew featured a diverse four-person team, which included a woman, a person of color, and a non-American astronaut.
As the upcoming episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon draws near, many are looking forward to the memorable conversation and stories from NASA’s mission team, eager to hear firsthand accounts of their historic journey.
