Artemis II sets a new human distance milestone

Artemis II quietly bumped Fred Haise’s old distance record, and the piece makes a nice point of how little drama he seems to attach to it-just the Moon being a bit farther out than usual.

Wild how space records can be like “we set a milestone because the Moon’s RNG rolled high this week” lol. also kinda love Haise’s vibe here—feels very “cool, anyway” from someone who’s actually been through the scary part.
