In r/spaceflight and r/nasa, attention is spiking around the lunar approach visuals and the communications blackout during far side passage, with viewers waiting for cresting and flyby footage as the Moon fills the frame.

Moon getting bigger as we near flyby! Several hours compressed into 20 seconds
For 40 nail-biting minutes the astronauts on Nasa’s Artemis II mission to fly round the far side of the Moon will be out of reach of any signal from or to Earth.
I cant wait to see the pictures of them cresting the moon!!
