Rise the Moon Mascot Steals the Spotlight as Artemis 2 Pays Tribute to Reid Wiseman's Late Wife
Artemis 2 commander Reid Wiseman kept Rise, the zero-gravity mascot, with him through splashdown and returned home with the toy still secure, turning Rise into a mission emblem; the crew even floated the idea of naming a lunar crater after Wiseman’s late wife Carroll, with the plan to forward the suggestion to the IAU, while Rise continued to appear in post‑mission photos and posts.
