YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNASA just released the first photos taken by astronauts aboard Artemis II-- the first crewed mission to the moon since 1972. The images show Earth from space, in one photo swathed in clouds and in another almost obscured in darkness.
The four-person crew includes pilot Victor Glover, the first Black astronaut to travel to deep space, and mission specialist Christina Koch, the first woman on a lunar mission. On Day 6 of their 10-day journey, they'll loop around the far side of the moon without landing and continue home.
“You look amazing. You look beautiful,” said Glover looking back at Earth in an interview with CBS News. “From up here you also look like one thing… No matter where you’re from or what you look, like we’re all one people.”
Back on Earth, NASA's future is less certain. The White House has proposed cutting the agency's science budget by 47%, and for the first time in 40 years, NASA has not committed to starting any new science missions.
