“I hope humanity will stop for a moment when four humans are on
the far side of the moon and be reminded that we can do a better
job as humans of just lifting each other up. Not destroying, but
creating together.”

Rebecca Morelle and Tim Peake speak to Canadian astronaut Jeremy
Hansen ahead of the launch of Artemis II.

Hansen is one of four crew members of NASA’s latest mission into
Space. Launching from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, Artemis II
will be heading to the Moon and will circle it before returning
home. Although they won’t be landing, it’s the first time in over
half a century that humans have ventured to the Moon.

If the mission is successful, it’ll result in some historic
firsts: Hansen will become the first non-American to leave
low-Earth orbit with crewmates Christina Koch the first woman and
Victor Glover the first person of colour to do so too.
