That’s the word from NASA released stunning photos of Earth taken by astronauts aboard the Artemis II Orion capsule on Friday. The photos taken by mission commander Reid Wiseman were snapped as the four-person crew makes its way to the moon.
Artemis II is so perfectly on course that NASA skipped a burn—while the crew gears up for a once-in-a-lifetime view of the Moon’s hidden side.
Bay Area scientists at NASA’s Ames Research Center are playing a key role in ensuring the success of Artemis II, the agency’s first crewed moon mission in more than 50 years.
