Artemis Two Crew's Historic Moon Mission

0:00It's April 10th. From your city to your ears, this is Canada News today, powered by AI. The Artemis II crew, including Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hanson, is wrapping up their historic moon mission and zeroing in on a nail-biting reentry. Tonight, their set to splash down around 8 p.m. in the Pacific of San Diego, hurtling back at 38,000 km per hour after looping. Around the moon in a six-hour flyby, the farthest any humans have flown. Earlier this week, they pushed deeper into space than ever before, testing NASA's Orion spacecraft to its limits. Hanson made history as the first non-American to venture beyond Earth's orbit, building on the legacy of folks like Chris Hadfield, the first Canadian to Spacewalk. Hadfield, who commanded the International Space Station, swapped emails with Hanson and says the crews buzzing with pride over how well the ships performed. Right now, their laser focused on nailing the reentry angle, just right to avoid skipping out or burning up, before ditching the service module, and deploying parachutes for that final descent.

1:07The astronauts admit they're still processing the overload of sites and sensations, fumbling for words to describe it all. They'll carry tens of thousands of photos and a lifetime of reflections, marking humanity's shift from moon visits to potential settlements. As they ride those shoots into the ocean, expect stories that'll reshape how we dream about space. Hanson and his team leading the charge back to the stars.
