Artemis II Commander Credits Elon Musk After Mars Sighting, Predicts Humans Will Reach Mars Soon

Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman thanked SpaceX founder Elon Musk after the crew glimpsed Mars during their lunar flyby, saying there’s zero doubt that humans will reach the Red Planet soon. The remark follows NASA’s nearly 10-day Moon mission, in which the Orion spacecraft completed a crucial test around the Moon before splashdown, while Musk spoke of Moon city plans and faster launch cycles for lunar development.
