Astronaut NASA, speriat de moarte la 406.000 km de Pământ: „Nu ne vom mai întoarce acasă” • Newsweek România

NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman shared a terrifying moment during the Artemis II mission when he feared he wouldn't return to Earth. While orbiting the Moon, the spacecraft's distance indicator unexpectedly increased, leading him to believe they had gone too far. After a tense three minutes, the distance began to decrease, confirming they were on the right trajectory home. Wiseman described this experience as the most frightening of his mission, despite the successful completion of their journey. The Artemis II mission marked the first crewed lunar orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972, with Wiseman and his crew returning safely after ten days in space.
