Artemis II naming historic craters

Commander Wiseman was moved to tears as the crew asked NASA for permission to dedicate the 'bright spot' on the moon to his wife, who died of cancer in 2020.

The proposal has been met with widespread support from the space community, highlighting the human element of the mission.

In addition to their scientific goals, the astronauts are using their journey to create a lasting legacy for those they have lost.

The naming of the craters marks a significant cultural moment in the Artemis program as humanity returns to deep space.
