On this flight, the Americans will break their own record: they will be farther from planet Earth than anyone has ever been before. In other words, NO ONE has ever traveled so far from Earth!
Amazing footage from this flight has already started appearing:
Well, the Americans have begun posting high-quality videos and photos from this flight.
What was available in terrible quality from the Apollo era can now be seen in perfect quality.
What have the Americans achieved this time?
First of all, as I said above, they traveled farther from Planet Earth than anyone ever has before. In other words, no human being has ever traveled so far.
The American astronauts wished the people of Earth that this record would not stand for long!
How sweet
Secondly, a human being saw the far side of the Moon with their own eyes. Before that, this had been done by spacecraft that photographed the far side and sent the images back to people on Earth.
Thirdly—of course, the first woman took this “step.”
Of course, no words can express the empathy this evokes!
Yes, it is only four Americans—but even so, as human beings, we are capable of empathizing and seeing through other people’s eyes. And these feelings can be shared.
And it is the Moon seen through a spacecraft window that will always be the most impressive of all.
