Distance beyond the Moon
[edit]While the Artemis program brochure mentioned just above is still linked from NASA's Artemis pages, and it says the Artemis II crew is planned to go 4,600 miles (7,400 km) beyond the Moon, a NASA press release from Nov 9, 2021 says they will go "roughly 40,000 miles past the Moon" https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-outlines-challenges-progress-for-artemis-moon-missions . This happens to be the same as the distance the unmanned Artemis I is planned to go. Can we trust this press release as an updated mission plan, or might it have mixed up the Artemis I and II plans?

- NASA published this on Jan 30 2023 that looks like it details this. https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/artemis-ii-map Jeff Carr (talk) 13:11, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
Launch date history
[edit]The "then-planned launch date history" table seems to be in need of serious refurbishment; besides the lack of citations, it is unclear to me how there can be planned launch dates for Artemis 2 per se dating to before (2011-2016) the start of Artemis program itself (2017). The claim that "[d]uring preliminary reviews in 2011, the launch date was placed somewhere between 2019 and 2021" is not supported by the sources cited. Original research issue?

- This is also a section that doesn't exist on other space mission pages. It really is out of place. Okan170 (talk) 05:43, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
Incorrect distance
[edit]Why is the fly-by distance listed as 7,400km in the side panel.
That gives the impression that that is the entire journey length. That side panel data then makes its way to google search page. 49.225.232.138 (talk) 09:01, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- A flyby distance is just that - the distance at which something is to "fly by" a target. The figure in the infobox is uncited, which is a problem, but it's not the problem you're describing. Respectfully, your impression does not mean that's what was actually stated. If Google transcludes the number incorrectly, that's Google's problem. Moonjail (talk) 04:20, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- Nonetheless, I've edited to bring the flyby number in line with a NASA statement. Moonjail (talk) 04:36, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
Nasaspaceflight article
[edit]A good source here : Artemis II Moon mission transitioning from planning to preparation. Hektor (talk) 10:46, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
Backup crew
[edit]Is there any information about a backup crew? --Haplochromis (talk) 09:47, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- I could find none. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk | contribs) Don't be afraid to ping me! 02:35, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Artemis 2 or Artemis II
[edit]If the official name is Artemis II as said, why Artemis 2 is used in here? MachoCarioca (talk) 00:14, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- I don't know, but I would guess that the Artemis program articles use Arabic numerals to remain consistent with all the other articles for human spaceflights, none of which use any other numeral system. I don't know if any consensus has been reached on this, but I did find a discussion from three years ago about it. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk | edits) Feel free to ping me! 19:54, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
EM-2 was not ARM
[edit]At the start of this page it mentions Artemis 2 was originally EM-2, a mission to collect samples from an asteroid. This is not true as seen here https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20190001932. Will edit and be more in detail shortly unless anyone has anything to add Eoghan43 (talk) 17:50, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
Artemis 4 in intro section?
[edit]Opening paragraph says, "Artemis 4 will be the first crewed launch from Launch Complex 39B of the Kennedy Space Center since STS-116 in 2006." Is this written as intended, or is it simply a typo for "Artemis 2"? This is the only mention of "Artemis 4" in this article, and it seems completely out of place here, as well as apparently inaccurate. 2601:600:A401:83E0:D048:7559:DA87:B1C3 (talk) 05:12, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
