President Donald J. Trump called the Artemis ll astronauts to congratulate them on their record-breaking flyby of the dark side of the moon. After his comments to the astronauts, there was an awkward silence which lasted more than a minute. The astronauts did not reply to any of Trumps comments but stared at the camera and played with a microphone. There was a communication check which proved the transmission was working fine and there was no delay. Trump blamed the silence on a technical glitch.

The Artemis ll crew traveled around the moon and passed the dark side of the moon, which is farther than any human has ever traveled from earth before. The astronauts saw two craters that have not been named, and suggested two names to NASA for the craters. The first name was Integrity, after their spacecraft, and the second was Caroll, after the late wife of astronaut Reid Wiseman. The moment was emotional for the astronauts and they can be seen hugging.
