The crew of Artemis II captured what NASA’s chief called an “absolutely stunning” photo of the moon eclipsing the sun, as the spacecraft broke Apollo 13′s 56-year-old record for the longest distance traveled by humans from Earth.
“This is not AI,” NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said in an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Tuesday.
“This is why we do what we do,” said Isaacman, as Artemis II continued heading back home to Earth.
The White House posted the photo taken Monday by Artemis II, and NASA released other photos from the Orion capsule, which conducted a six-hour flyby of the moon with four astronauts on board.
Isaacman said, “I just looked at the pictures about five minutes before getting on ... this interview, and I would just say they looked absolutely stunning.”
