as posted by the channel

The four crew members of Artemis II have set a distance record for humanity Monday, April 6 as they fly beyond the lunar surface while over 250,000 miles from Earth.

The astronauts are not only the first humans to venture near the moon since NASA's final Apollo era mission in 1972: Just before 2 p.m. ET, the crew is expected to surpass a record distance of 248,655 miles in space set in 1970 during the infamous Apollo 13 mission, according to NASA.
