Astronauts aboard Artemis II have seen the far side of the Moon for the first time and called the view “absolutely spectacular”. The crew includes Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen. They are travelling aboard the Orion spacecraft. Koch said, “Something about you senses that is not the Moon that I’m used to seeing.” The team shared images of the Orientale basin. NASA said it is the first time the full area has been seen by humans. The spacecraft is now over 2,89,000 km from Earth.
