'Old neighborhood': Artemis II crew flies past Apollo 13 distance record [i]NASA's Apollo and Artemis programs crossed historic paths on Monday (April 6), as the latter broke a record set by the earlier, and the legacy of earlier lived on with latter's promise for the future. The first four astronauts to fly to the moon since the Apollo lunar missions ended, the Artemis II crew of Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch of NASA and Jeremy Hansen with the Canadian Space Agency, flew past the farthest distance that humans have traveled beyond Earth — 248,655 miles (400,171 kilometers) — at 1:56 p.m. EDT (1756 GMT), or 4 days, 19 hours and 21 minutes into their flight.[/i]
