A few minutes before 2PM ET on Monday, the crew of Artemis II broke a record set 56 years ago<\/a> by the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission – at over 248,655 miles, they have now traveled farther from Earth than any humans before them. They marked the occasion with a crater naming ceremony that left the whole crew embracing each other in lunar orbit.<\/p>\n

To commemorate the Artemis II mission, the astronauts announced their suggestion to rename certain features on the Moon to honor the Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, as well as commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife, Carroll. pic.twitter.com\/ejfhnItDo8<\/a><\/p>\n
