Last night, President Donald J. Trump spoke via satellite with the crew of NASA’s historic Artemis II mission, becoming the first President to engage in interplanetary communication with astronauts beyond low-Earth orbit in over five decades. Artemis II marks humanity’s return to the lunar vicinity for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972, taking astronauts farther from Earth than ever before — reaching nearly 253,000 miles — as they conduct critical observations of the Moon’s far side and pave the way for future missions.
President Trump praised the crew for their groundbreaking journey.
- “Today, you’ve made history and made all of America really proud… There’s nothing like what you’re doing, circling around the Moon for the first time in more than half a century and breaking the all-time record for the farthest distance from planet Earth… You really are modern-day pioneers.” (Watch)

- Commander Reid Wiseman on the most unforgettable sights: “We saw sights… that no human has ever seen before — not even in Apollo.” (Watch)
