During Artemis II’s lunar flyby, the crew will enter a planned 40-minute communications blackout as Orion passes behind the Moon and loses link with Earth. This marks their most isolated moment—four astronauts floating in silence, executing critical science tasks without real-time support. Astronaut Victor Glover urged the public to “pray, hope, send your good thoughts” during the silence, while the experience echoes Apollo 11’s “alone” 48‑minute blackout on the far side.
