Two people would fly an approximately week-long mission in a “long loop” around the Moon, to about 400,000 miles from Earth.

Are you sure about miles on that? Moon is 400,000km from earth. 400,000 miles is 650,000km. Quite far for a flyby.

yeah. Moons sphere of influence is only 66 thousand km. I think he misspoke.

He apparently clarified that apogee is post fly-by and would be between 300000 and 400000 miles
