I’m Lara Williams and this is Bloomberg Opinion Today, a flyby of Bloomberg Opinion’s opinions. Sign up here.
The four astronauts of Artemis II are on their way home after traveling farther from Earth than any human before them.

They also lost contact with Earth for 40 minutes, which I’m honestly a little jealous of.
