NASA's Artemis II crew, consisting of Mission Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen, completed a mission that included a journey around the Moon in early April. They traveled 52,756 miles (406,771 kilometers) from Earth and reached a speed of approximately 24,664 miles per hour (39,693 kilometers per hour) while reentering the atmosphere aboard their Orion spacecraft named Integrity. This speed places them among the fastest humans in history, surpassed only by the Apollo 10 astronauts who reached 24,791 mph (39,897 kph) in 1969. The crew has received a patch to commemorate their achievement.
