Artemis II astronaut Jeremy Hansen has revealed that the entire crew watched Ryan Gosling's Project Hail Mary during their pre launch quarantine, calling it the perfect way to prepare for their own journey into deep space. Hansen, the first non American to fly to the Moon, shared the detail during a live televised interview from the Orion spacecraft while the crew was more than 250,000 miles from Earth. He said Amazon MGM sent the crew a link to watch the film at home with their families before liftoff, describing it as "a real treat" and "really uplifting and inspiring." When asked what he would say to Gosling, Hansen replied that "art imitates science and vice versa" and praised the actor for leaning into the role of a schoolteacher turned astronaut sent on a mission to save humanity. Hansen and Gosling both grew up in London, Ontario, adding a personal connection to the moment. Before the April 1 launch, Gosling had recorded a video message wishing the Artemis II crew well, and the official Project Hail Mary social media accounts posted messages of support throughout the mission. The film, based on Andy Weir's bestselling novel, has broken box office records since its release on March 20 and follows a character who wakes up alone on a spacecraft with no memory of how he got there, tasked with solving an extinction level threat to Earth #reelheadline #pubity #viral
