2026.5.27再放送⇒2026.5.18(4.7) 人類が地球から最も離れた距離に到達 ARTEMIS II CREW SET DISTANCE RECORD FOR HUMANS IN SPACE アルテミス2号の乗組員たちが、人類が宇宙で到達した距離の記録を立てる
The astronauts of NASA's Artemis II mission have reached the farthest distance from Earth ever traveled by humanity as they journeyed to the far side of the moon.
Communication with their Orion space capsule was lost while it looped behind the moon.
“We are getting our first views from Orion after the loss of signal. Orion has come back around the other side of the moon, and that little crescent that you see is Earth.”
Orion entered the moon’s gravitational sphere of influence on the fifth day of the 10-day mission. It then made a swing around the far side of the moon. NASA says the crew set the distance record at 23:02 UTC Monday.
The U.S. space agency says the spacecraft was more than 406,700 kilometers from Earth at its farthest point. It surpassed the record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by about 6,600 kilometers. The latest mission is the first crewed test flight under the U.S.-led Artemis program aimed at landing astronauts on the moon in 2028.

🔶Today's Takeaways ★宇宙開発も言葉も進化していく
◇That’s a wonderful message. I hope everyone feels encouraged to take their next step, just like the Artemis program, reaching beyond the moon.
アルテミス計画が月を越えて新たな領域へと踏み出すように、皆さんが次のステップへ進む勇気を得られることを願っています。
Apolloはギリシャ神話で太陽の神🚹。Artemisは月の女神🚺で、二人は双子のきょうだい
Orionは、神話ではアルテミスが共に狩りをした狩人の名前
◇The name is perfect since Orion has long been a guide in the night sky, serving as a landmark for sailors and explorers throughout history.
オリオン座は、古くから船乗りや探検家にとっての道しるべとして夜空に輝いてきたため、この名前はまさにぴったりです。
●現代では「人類」として、「humanity」などの言葉が好まれる←mankind
●「有人」を「crewed」と表現することで、性別にかかわりなく人々が宇宙開発に参画している←manned
