>NASA will lose contact with its astronauts for 40 minutes tonight as their spacecraft passes behind the moon. The Artemis II crew are on their final approach to the lunar surface ahead of this evening's flyby, which will see them break the record for the farthest distance ever travelled by humans. As part of the mission, the team will be taking photos and videos of our celestial neighbour and recording their observations. But there will be a tense 40 minutes when the lunar surface blocks radio signals needed for the Deep Space Network to connect with the spacecraft.

This DEI crew is on auto-pilot and will only act if necessary. Their only mission is to sit and wait for the flyby to take pictures of the moon.

This mission (as mentioned in the global sticky) is to break the record (by a few thousand miles) of the farthest distance, humans have travelled from earth.
