(Gray News) - NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen are back together to answer questions about their Artemis II moon mission.

The astronauts returned to Earth on Friday to close out humanity’s first lunar voyage in more than a half-century.

They traveled more than 250,000 miles to the far side of the moon, breaking the record previously set by Apollo 13. The Artemis II came within 4,000 miles of the lunar surface.

Artemis II included the first woman, the first person of color and the first non-U.S. citizen to fly to the moon.
