Artemis II astronauts have passed halfway point to moon

Artemis II astronauts have passed the halfway point to the moon as of late Saturday afternoon.

The astronauts could break the record set by Apollo 13.

Three Americans and one Canadian are set to arrive at their destination Monday, capturing images of the Moon’s far side as they orbit. 

The mission marks the first time in more than 53 years that a crew has traveled to the Moon, continuing where NASA’s Apollo program left off.
