@chedu_chinhu The closest the Artemis II crew will come to the lunar surface will be when Orion flies behind the Moon, ranging from 4,000 to 6,000 miles above the lunar surface.
At this distance, the Moon will appear to the crew to be about the size of a basketball held at arm’s length.

@Smpackage25 The Artemis II mission is a test flight designed to enable NASA to test and learn about systems needed to keep astronauts safe on their journey to and from the Moon, including Orion’s life support systems, never tested in space with humans before.

@JJ83xxxx Astronauts quarantine before launch to protect their health. Even though they interact with people during final preparations, NASA limits contact. This reduces the chance of illness before flight and keeps the mission on track.
