Your Kids Asked the Artemis Astronauts Questions. They Answered.

Last month, the astronauts of NASA’s Artemis II mission splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, bringing their journey around the moon to a close.

“The Daily” asked children to send in questions for the crew. The astronauts — three Americans and one Canadian — sat down with Rachel Abrams to answer them.

Guest: The Artemis II astronauts: Victor Glover, Jeremy Hansen, Christina Koch and Reid Wiseman.

Background reading: 

• The mission took the astronauts farther than any human has ever traveled in history and reminded us how small we are.
• The Artemis II splashdown gave NASA momentum in a renewed moon race.
