On April 1st, the Artemis II launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission lasted ten days and was the first crewed mission to the moon in over 50 years. The crew traveled around the moon and back, testing technology for future missions, including plans to land astronauts on the moon for an extended stay. The crew of the Artemis II was composed of Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialists Christina Koch as well as Canadian, Jeremy Hansen. Each crew member set records and defied standards, Glover was the first person of color, Koch was the first female, Hansen was the first non- US citizen and Wiseman was the oldest person to fly beyond low-earth orbit and circle the moon. The crew set the record for furthest human from earth, reaching a maximum of 252,756 miles and breaking the Apollo 13’s record. The team tested technology, especially the spacecraft’s ability to maintain a habitable environment in deep space. The crew also photographed the moon’s surface discovering two unnamed craters which they named the Integrity Crater, after their spacecraft,  and Carroll Crater to honor Carroll Wiseman (Commander Wiseman’s wife), who passed away in 2020. This mission highlighted collaboration between NASA, the Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency (who provided the European Service Module, which fueled the ship). On April 10th, the crew splashed down off the coast of San Diego, successfully completing a 694,481-mile journey around the moon and paving the way for future missions and diverse crews.
