From CBC News.

The crew of the Artemis II space mission broke the record at 1:57 p.m. ET on Monday as the crew of four astronauts passed the record of 400,171 kilometres from Earth set by Apollo 13 in April 1970.

Canadian astronaut Jeremey Hansen took a moment to ask NASA to dedicate two names for locations on the moon as a tribute to their spaceship, Integrity, and to Carroll, the late wife of fellow astronaut Reid Wiseman.
