Friends ➡️ Best Friends⁣ "We launched as friends, and we came back as best friends,” said @astro_reid when reflecting on the Artemis II crew’s historic test flight around the Moon.⁣ The Artemis II astronauts trained together for several years to make this mission a success, practicing everything from suiting up to getting the Orion spacecraft into different configurations. Going to space and seeing the far side of the Moon, however, was the ultimate bonding experience for them.⁣ Image descriptions:⁣ 1 – From left to right, Artemis II Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency), along with Pilot Victor Glover, Commander Reid Wiseman, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch, from NASA, greet family, friends, and NASA employees outside the Neil A.
