'Extraordinary': Back on Earth, Jeremy Hansen describes his long journey in space
Hansen said the 10-day mission made him the first non-American beyond low Earth orbit and advanced plans for a permanent lunar presence.
- Canadian Space Agency astronaut Hansen returned to Earth Thursday, splashing into the Pacific Ocean after a 10-day Artemis lunar fly-around and describing the mission as "pretty extraordinary" at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
- The four-person crew—commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Hansen and Christina Koch—were the first humans to travel to the moon in more than 50 years, laying groundwork for permanent lunar presence and Mars exploration.
- Hansen celebrated his 23rd wedding anniversary with wife Catherine upon his return and relished a hamburger after two weeks in space, rating it "11 out of 10" once medical checks concluded.
- Space travel reminds us that "the next step for humanity is to truly learn to collaborate," Hansen noted, crediting NASA for fostering international partnership and the ability to "do hard things" together.
- Canada's long-term investment in space technology enabled successful collaboration with the United States and international partners on Artemis, as Hansen noted that investing in these technologies also helps solve critical problems on Earth.
