The Artemis II crew is now just 13,000 miles away from the moon, and about half an hour from surpassing the record for the farthest humans have ever traveled from Earth. That record, 248,655 miles, was set by Apollo 13 in 1970, according to NASA.

NASA officials have previously spoken of the possibility of extraterrestrial life amid scientific uncertainty while highlighting the agency’s role in collecting evidence for the search of alien life. In 2023, then NASA Administrator Bill Nelson announced that he was appointing a committee of scientists to address “so many suspicions about aliens.”

The astronauts aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft on the Artemis II mission captured breathtaking photos of Earth during their 10-day journey to and from the moon.

The biggest remaining piece of the architecture, therefore, is a lunar lander. Known in NASA parlance as the Human Landing System, or HLS, the space agency has contracted with SpaceX for its Starship vehicle and Blue Origin and it Blue Moon lander.

The proposed budget would cut NASA's overall funding by 23% and nearly halve its science portfolio. A proposed fiscal year 2027 budget for NASA would cut the agency's overall funding by 23% and slash its science programs by nearly half, prompting strong opposition from the space community.
