This marks the first time in over 50 years that astronauts on a NASA mission will fly around the Moon, having successfully completed the critical main engine burn of the Orion spacecraft.

Following a firing of the spacecraft's service module engine, known as the Trans-Lunar Injection burn, which lasted for approximately six minutes on Thursday, Orion and its crew, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen, accelerated to escape Earth's orbit and commenced their journey toward Earth's nearest celestial neighbour.
