Artemis crew more than halfway to Moon send back photos of Earth

The Artemis 2 astronauts crossed the midpoint between Earth and the Moon on Saturday as they headed toward a planned lunar flyby, with NASA sharing early images of Earth captured from inside the Orion spacecraft. Astronaut Christina Koch said the crew had a collective "expression of joy" upon being told of the milestone, which was hit around two days, five hours and 24 minutes after the spacecraft blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
