Hi, I'm Jeremy Hanson. I'm a Canadian Space Agency astronaut on the Artemis II mission

to the moon. You can hear mind-blowing stories from NASA scientists, engineers, and astronauts at

NASA.gov, forward slash podcasts.

You're listening to NASA's curious universe.

I'm Patty Boyd.

NASA is leading a golden age of space exploration.

The Artemis 2 mission will send humans around the moon for the first time in more than 50 years.

When the Artemis II astronauts soar around the moon in their Orion capsule, it'll be

the first time in decades that humans lay eyes on the

lunar surface directly, close up. Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Cook, Jeremy Hansen,

by uncrewed missions. As the astronauts study the Moon from orbit,

the NASA scientists who trained them in geology

will be following from mission control on Earth,
