Story Brief

The Artemis II astronauts did not exceed the speed record set by the Apollo 10 crew in 1969, but they did inspire a new version of a related, venerable patch.

NASA's Artemis II crew are the fastest people alive, and now they have the patch to prove it.

Mission Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen (the latter with the Canadian Space Agency) spent 10 days in early April flying by the Moon.
