NASA's Artemis II crew set a record by flying deeper into space than any humans before them. They completed a rare flyby of the shadowed far side of the Moon, revealing a previously unseen lunar surface.

The four astronauts of NASA's Artemis II mission flew deeper into space on Monday than any humans before them, as they cruised through a rare flyby of the shadowed far side of the moon that revealed a lunar surface under cosmic bombardment. Emile Martin, section editor at Ciel & Espace, joined France 24 from Houston to describe the emotion at mission control the moment the crew broke the record.
