Canadian Jeremy Hansen is among the four-person crew, what astronaut and fellow countryman Joshua Kutryk called "a very big deal." It's the first -- not just the first Canadian lunar mission -- it's the first mission in the world that isn't purely a US crew. That's really cool as an astronaut, to think that I have a friend who's going to go around the far side of the Moon. - What's different about the Artemis mission? That's what Artemis is about, and that's something that we couldn't have done during Apollo because we didn't have the technology to do it.
