4. These four astronauts are about to travel farther from Earth than anyone before them

In just over a week, four astronauts could launch toward the moon for the first time in more than 50 years.

The crew, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch and Victor Glover and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen are set to fly on NASA’s Artemis II mission, a 10-day journey that will take them swinging around the moon. Their path through space will take the group farther from Earth than humanity has ever gone, surpassing the Apollo 13 record of 248,655 miles set in 1970.

The group will not land on the moon’s surface, but the flight is meant to kick-start a new era of lunar exploration, paving the way for a moon landing in the coming years. It will be the first time that NASA’s next-generation Space Launch System rocket and Orion capsule carry human passengers.

If that’s cause for any trepidation, the astronauts haven’t let it show.
