  1. The closest #Apollo mission to #Artemis2 was #Apollo13. In #Apollo8, the crew went into #orbit around the #Moon (and did ten orbits) whereas the current mission will be a #Swingby as the craft is on a free-return trajectory so there’s no need for a #TransEarthInjection burn or #TEI. Of course Apollo 13 only did that because of the accident. The current crew will be much higher above the lunar surface than former missions.
