Artemis II Crew Takes Questions on Historic Moon Flyby and Return

The Artemis II quartet—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen—took questions at a Johnson Space Center briefing after a 10-day lunar flyby and homecoming, livestreamed by NASA. They described the high-speed reentry and possible heat shield char loss but called the ride largely smooth, discussed the intense mental and emotional strain of deep-space flight, and praised their crew bond, while underscoring NASA’s plans to push toward a sustained lunar presence and bolder exploration.
