7:09Now PlayingA NASA crew of four astronauts have now traveled farther in space than anyone in history as the group’s spacecraft hurtles toward the moon for a historic flyby.
Shortly before 2 p.m. New York time on Monday, the Artemis II Lockheed Martin Corp.-built Orion capsule surpassed the distance the Apollo 13 crew traveled in 1970 of 248,655 miles (400,170 kilometers) from Earth, NASA said.
“We will continue our journey even further into space before Mother Earth succeeds in pulling us back to everything that we hold dear,” Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen said as the crew broke the record.
“But we most importantly choose this moment to challenge this generation and the next to make sure this record is not long lived,” he added.
