First Day in Space: Crew Reactions | NASA Artemis II Moon Mission

"Not bad for a first day in space." 

Yesterday, as they became closer to the Moon than the Earth, NASA astronaut and Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen, reflected on their experience of the translunar injection burn. Rise, the zero-gravity indicator, hung out for the conversation as well.

NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft with NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, commander; Victor Glover, pilot; Christina Koch, mission specialist; and Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, mission specialist onboard, was successfully launched on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, for the Artemis II Mission from Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

NASA’s Artemis II Mission is taking Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen on a 10-day journey around the Moon and back aboard their Orion spacecraft.
