Apollo 13’s ill-fated 1970 flight, forced into a desperate trajectory after an sudden tank meltdown, turned a survival manoeuvre into an unintended milestone, taking the three astronauts farther from the planet than anyone had been before, reaching roughly 248,655 miles. In April this year Artemis II, NASA’s first crewed flight beyond the atmosphere , quietly eclipsed that landmark , carrying four astronauts past the same 248,655-mile point as part of its planned lunar-flyby profile, thereby establishing a fresh benchmark and closing a chapter that began with an unplanned drama.
