Artemis Two Crew Skims Moon's Far Side

Artemis II, mission is cruising toward its lunar flyby, with Canadian astronaut Jeremy

Hansen checking in from almost 200,000 kilometers.

Away, he's flying with Commander Reed Weizmann, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialist

Christina Koch, all testing gear for the deepest human space trip, ever.

The crew nailed their first day, spotting wild views of clothes before Earth's shrank

back after a quick nap.

Now they're set to skim the moons far side by Monday afternoon, prepping for views

no one's cop before.

Back home, folks at the Canadian Space Agency hosted a late-night press call, and other astronauts

like David St. Jacques are hyped about the epic, sights ahead.

No ribbing for Hansen as the only Canadian newbie he's killing it, and the team calls it

pure teamwork magic.

They've munched maple cookies already, and are hunting Quebec maple syrup, stashed

on board.

The launch has Canadians glued to the sky, rethinking the moon while tracking online.

Even promises killer photos to share back home, firing up dreams of looping the moon in

2026 and beyond, while we pull off together, changes everything.
