Artemis II passed by the far side of the Moon on Monday in a historic lunar flyby.
Artemis II launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida last Wednesday evening for a historic 10-day flight to orbit the Moon.
This is the first crewed lunar mission since 1972.
On Monday, Artemis II flew around the dark side of the Moon.
Artemis II Astronaut Victor Glover shared the Gospel and Jesus Christ’s teachings before losing communication during the historic lunar flyby.
“To remind us of one of the most important mysteries on earth, and that is love. Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command? It was to love God with all that you are,” Victor Glover said.
“And he also, being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it, and that is to love your neighbor as yourself,” he said.
“And so, as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we’re still going to feel your love from Earth, and to all of you down there on Earth and around Earth, we love you from the Moon,” he said. “We will see you on the other side.”

Victor Glover shared a special Easter message over the weekend.
“When we are so far from America, and we can look at the beauty of creation… and when I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us…” he said.
“You’re on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe, in the cosmos,” he added.
“Just trust me. You are special. In all of this emptiness, this is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe, you have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together,” he said.
NASA’s statement on the Artemis II launch from last week:
NASA’s Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) rocket, with the Orion spacecraft atop carrying NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, lifted off from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39B in Florida at 6:35 p.m. EDT to begin its journey to deep space.
The twin solid rocket boosters ignited first, delivering more than 75% of the thrust needed to lift the 5.75-million-pound rocket off the pad. Their combined power, along with the four RS-25 engines already at full thrust, generated an incredible 8.8 million pounds of force at liftoff. As the rocket rose, the umbilicals – which provided power, fuel, and data connections during prelaunch – disconnected and retracted into protective housings. This ensured the vehicle is free from ground systems and fully autonomous for flight.
The approximately 10-day Artemis II mission around the Moon is the first crewed flight under NASA’s Artemis campaign. It will help test the systems and hardware needed to continue sending astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to continue building toward the first crewed missions to Mars.
