LONGUEUIL – Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen has spent two-and-a-half years preparing for his upcoming trip to the moon and back, and he’s loved every minute of it. Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen speaks during the Canada Day noon show at LeBreton Flats in Ottawa on July 1, 2023. Here’s five things to consider as Hansen prepares to add another chapter in Canadian space history. The most significant point of pride is that Artemis II marks a monumental step for Canadian space exploration. A subsequent mission, Artemis III, which will land astronauts on the moon for the first time in more than 50 years, has been delayed until at least mid-2027.
