Public confusion about Artemis II trajectory and why distance record happens before circling the Moon

April 6, 2026r/space

In r/space, questions cluster around how Artemis II can be farther from Earth than Apollo missions before completing a lunar orbit, pointing to trajectory geometry and timing.

Stupid question……how is it that they haven’t yet circled the moon but they’re already further away than the Apollo missions that also circled the moon?
Was there any reason for Artemis 2 to have such a distant lunar orbit?
