Artemis 2 Astronauts Prepare for Moon Mission with Launch Day Practice

TL;DR Summary
Astronauts for the Artemis 2 moon mission, including Jeremy Hansen and Christina Koch, practiced their prospecting skills on the Kamestastin crater in Canada. The training expedition aimed to help astronauts identify features like craters from afar and learn how to work in rugged conditions. The crater shares similarities with lunar craters, making it a valuable training ground for future lunar missions. The expedition also involved the participation of the Mushuau Innu First Nation community, as the crater is located within their traditional hunting grounds.
