History is unfolding 272,000 km from Earth as NASA’s Artemis II crew gears up for tomorrow’s lunar flyby – a critical milestone in humanity’s return to the Moon! 🚀 After waking up to Chappell Roan’s viral hit ‘Pink Pony Club’ (yes, astronauts have morning jams too 🎧), astronauts Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen began final checks on the Orion spacecraft.
As of April 5, 2026, the team is cruising through deep space at staggering speeds, with Earth shrinking behind them and the Moon looming 178,000 km ahead. Monday’s flyby will slingshot them around the lunar surface, testing systems for future crewed landings. 🌍→🌖
