THE ARTEMIS II CREW CALL EARTH

In a historic moment for NASA’s Artemis II mission, astronauts made a live video call to Earth just after completing the critical translunar injection burn, setting them on course for the Moon. Mission Commander Reid Wiseman described a breathtaking view of Earth “from pole to pole” that left the entire crew in awe. Mission Specialist Christina Koch added a human touch to the journey, jokingly calling herself the “space plumber” after resolving a minor onboard toilet issue. Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen shared the emotional impact of his first trip to space, saying it made him feel “like a little kid.” Pilot Victor Glover delivered a powerful message of unity, reflecting on how Earth appears as “one thing” from space, emphasizing the importance of putting differences aside. The Artemis II mission marks a major step in NASA’s return to the Moon, combining cutting-edge spaceflight with deeply human moments—from awe-inspiring views to everyday challenges in microgravity.
