Artemis 2 crew's tearful tribute near the Moon binds its four astronauts

During Artemis 2’s record‑breaking lunar flyby, the four astronauts shared an emotional moment as commander Reid Wiseman and his crewmates honored his late wife Carroll Wiseman by proposing Carroll Crater; Wiseman invited Jeremy Hansen to deliver the tribute while Christina Koch cried, calling it the mission’s pinnacle moment. The crew then completed the flyby of the Moon’s far side and witnessed a solar eclipse from lunar orbit before heading home for a Pacific splashdown on April 10. They also surfaced plans to name Integrity Crater after their Orion capsule, but both crater names must be approved by the International Astronomical Union before appearing on maps.
