6:31Now PlayingCorrection: In this segment, we incorrectly described how a moon crater was named for NASA commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. Jeremy Hansen should have been identified as the astronaut who spoke to Mission Control about naming the crater, a suggestion made jointly by the crew. We regret the error.
The four-astronaut crew of NASA’s Artemis II flew to the far side of the moon and set a record for the farthest distance from Earth traveled by any human. Monday's seven-hour lunar flyby was the most anticipated part of the mission. Amna Nawaz discussed the historic achievement with science correspondent Miles O’Brien.
