Overview

On April 1, 2026, four astronauts climbed aboard a spacecraft called Integrity and left Earth behind. What happened next changed history.For the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972, human beings traveled beyond Earth orbit - farther than anyone alive today had ever gone. But this mission was different from everything that came before it. Victor Glover became the first Black man to fly to the Moon. Christina Koch became the first woman. Jeremy Hansen became the first non-American to journey to lunar distance. And together with Commander Reid Wiseman, they shattered the all-time human distance record, flew around the far side of the Moon with their own eyes - parts of the lunar surface no person had ever witnessed directly - and witnessed a total solar eclipse from deep space. Farther Than Anyone tells the complete human story of the Artemis II mission - the courage, the sacrifice, the breakthroughs, and the moments that moved the world. Inside this book, you will discover: - The full story of each crew member: who they are, where they came from, and why they were chosen to make history - What it felt like to see the far side of the Moon with naked eyes - something no human had ever done - The nail-biting moments mission controllers never broadcast: the toilet malfunction, the cancelled burns, the communications blackout - Victor Glover's decades-long road to becoming the first Black pilot to fly to the Moon - and what it means - Christina Koch's journey from the South Pole to deep space - and the moment she took control of Orion during a manual piloting test - Jeremy Hansen's perspective as the first Canadian, and first non-American, to fly beyond Earth orbit - Commander Reid Wiseman's heartbreaking tribute: the crater he named for his late wife Carroll, seen from 252,000 miles away - The total solar eclipse - described by the crew as ""indescribable,"" ""surreal,"" and ""impossible for the human brain to process"" - What Artemis II means for Artemis III, the 2028 Moon landing, and the permanent lunar base that follows This is not a technical manual. This is the human story - the one that happened 252,756 miles from Earth, in a capsule the size of a minivan, carrying the weight of fifty years of waiting and the hopes of everyone who has ever looked up at the Moon and wondered. The Apollo program sent American men. Artemis II sent humanity. Perfect for readers who loved Hidden Figures, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, and Rocket Men - and for anyone who watched the launch, followed the flyby, and wanted to understand the full story behind the historic images. Enjoy!!!
