#NASA just published its #Artermis Mission Photos and Videos.
Among my favourites is "Flight Day 9: #Orion Looks Back at #Earth", where one can get a sense that adventure awaits!
What are your thoughts?

By comparison, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter’s altitude varies between 20 km and 165 km over the lunar surface.
Geosync satellites orbit around earth at altitude 35,786 km.
