Everyone's Going to the (Backside of the) Moon Groaners
What did Commander Reid Weisman of Artemis II say to mission control when they learned their toilet wasn't working? "Houston, we have a problem...a number two problem."
Artemis II went farther out into space than any previous exploration and still couldn't solve the age-old problem of locating a parking space near Kinnick Stadium on game day.
Artemis II flew to the dark side of the moon and no one left a nightlight for the crew.
Artemis II pilot, Victor Glover was a Legislative Fellow in the US Senate prior to being an astronaut. That may explain why he wanted to get as far from earth as humanly possible.
Flight Specialist Christina Koch of Artemis II spent 328 days in space, a record for women astronauts. Most recently, she set a record for spending the most time with a Canadian who wasn't Martin Short on the flight with Jeremy Hansen.
The Artemis II crew is expected to travel a total of 695,081 miles in 10 days or as I like to call it, a Canaveral Cruise.
Prior to being a Mission Specialist for Artemis II, Jeremy Hansen was part of NEEMO-19, a mission that had him living at the bottom of the ocean to simulate deep space. While the mission was largely successful, NEEMO-19 never did find Nemo.
