After 54 Years, NASA Just Did Something That Hasn’t Happened Since Apollo — And the Photos Are Incredible
Humanity has officially returned to the Moon.
NASA’s Artemis II mission completed a historic lunar flyby on April 6, 2026, marking the first time humans have traveled beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972. The four-person crew broke the spaceflight distance record at 248,655 miles from Earth.
The crew captured and transmitted the first official photographs of the Moon’s far side.
President Trump personally congratulated the crew, calling the mission “the greatest achievement in American history.”
The Artemis II astronauts return to Earth on April 10, 2026.
