PODCAST:
April 6, 2026 ~ Jamie Edmonds, Chris Renwick, and Lloyd Jackson talk with Fox News reporter and WJR Contributor Eben Brown on the Artemis mission.
The four crew members of NASA’s Artemis spacecraft will make history on Monday as they are on track to break the record for reaching the furthest distance from Earth.
The crew will sling around the rarely seen far side of the moon, reaching 252,760 miles away from Earth, farther than the ill-fated Apollo 13 in 1970 by over 4,000 miles. After exiting Earth’s orbit last week, Artemis began its travel to the moon, where it will fly around it before returning to Earth in a figure-eight pattern.
The last time humanity reached its lunar neighbor was the Apollo 17 landing in late 1972.
