From the moon to Canada’s capital. The astronauts who journeyed to the far side of the moon last month met Prime Minister Mark Carney in his office on Wednesday. The Artemis II crew, including Canadian Jeremy Hansen, is in Ottawa to talk about the future of space travel. Carney said it was an honour to welcome the crew, noting it was the first time he had met them ‘on Earth.’ Carney gave the crew members commemorative silver coins that show a colour image of an astronaut on one side and King Charles on the other. He also gave Hansen the Canadian flag that was flying on the Peace Tower the day the Artemis capsule splashed down off the California coast. Hansen gave Carney a framed Canadian flag patch that he said was in the capsule throughout the mission. The patch is mounted on a photo of Earth taken from the far side of the moon, with each Artemis II crew member’s signature on it #ArtemisII #Canada #CdnPoli
