As the Artemis II crewed moon mission soars deeper into space than humans have traveled in decades, back on Earth, the White House has proposed slashing NASA’s budget.

Amid ongoing toilet trouble, the Artemis II astronauts reflected on the wonder of sailing through deep space to the moon.

Ever since Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders captured Earthrise in 1968 — Earth hanging in the black void above the lunar surface — the image of our planet from deep space has carried a weight that no

Artemis II will test NASA’s crew capabilities in deep space and gather more information that could ultimately help send astronauts to Mars.

Artemis II has entered deep space, marking a new phase in the return of human missions beyond Earth. The mission, led by NASA, has produced new images of Earth captured from beyond low Earth orbit. These photographs were taken from the Orion spacecraft as it travels towards the Moon.

NASA's Artemis II mission is set to launch Wednesday, sending four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the moon and back to Earth. While the mission will not include a landing, it marks a major step forward in returning humans to deep space.

This marks the first time NASA has allowed each crew member to fly with a personal iPhone for documentation purposes, moving beyond previous limited or unofficial uses of smartphones in space.
