0:00I'm Ben Thomas with an AP News Minute, an international space summits underway in Paris, where Europeans are looking to make advances in a global market dominated by the US. And it done a huge reports. The two NASA astronauts who led the Artemis II moonshot earlier this year are leaving space light behind. Reed Weisman was the Artemis II commander. It's very hard to fully grasp what we just went through. Victor Glover, the pilot. It was glory. NASA's Weisman and Glover will no longer serve as active astronauts, but will continue to support the Moon exploration program as emeritus astronauts. Glover has taken a leadership job at Cal Poly as Alma Mater. Weisman's future plans are unknown. Artemis II's Jeremy Hansen retired from the Canadian Space Agency in July. Christina Cook is the only crew member still an active astronaut. Victor Glover tells the AP he's not leaving, but he's helping NASA from the sidelines. I'm Ed Donahue. And I'm Ben Thomas.
