Artemis II crew flew fast, earned new patch: Astronauts' Mach 39 emblem
摘要
美国宇航局“阿尔忒弥斯2号”任务机组人员在4月初的10天月球飞行中，最远距地球约40.68万公里，返回时再入大气层速度达每小时约3.97万公里，成为目前速度最快的人类。历史上仅有阿波罗10号的三名宇航员曾达到更高速度。
NASA's Artemis II crew are the fastest people alive, and now they have the patch to prove it.
Mission Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen (the latter with the Canadian Space Agency) spent 10 days in early April flying by the Moon. Their journey took them farther away from Earth than any humans have gone (52,756 miles [406,771 km]) and then, on the way back on board their Orion spacecraft Integrity, they sped up to about 24,664 miles per hour (39,693 k/ph) reentering the atmosphere.
Only three other people in history have traveled faster. NASA's Apollo 10 astronauts Thomas Stafford, John Young, and Eugene Cernan set the record for the highest speed attained by a crewed vehicle relative to the Earth's surface: 24,791 mph (39,897 kph) on May 26, 1969.
