The four astronauts aboard the Artemis Il mission shared an emotional moment after Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen announced the crew wanted to dedicate a moon crater to mission commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife, Carroll, who died in 2020.

#Love the partnership they have. They will always have the memories of what they lived through during that mission. š§āšš§āšš§āšš©āš
Iām so curious about the sensation of crying in zero gravity – what does it feel like to have your tears float off instead of rolling down your face? This has me weeping so I can only imagine how they feel being so close to the moon herself
There is so much that is terrible about the world right now, but moments like this make me hope that, on a humanity level, we might be okay.
He said it was a bright spot on the moon
In space, nobody can hear you ugly sob.
That was such a touching moment, you can see they deeply care about each other. Lovely way to honor Carrollās memory. It made me tear up !
Iām a sobbing mess!
Ok thanks great all future relationships are ruined now
How tf am I supposed to compare to a guy that literally went to the moon and named a crater after his wife??
the feels
Absolutely beautiful ššš I will always look out for Carroll!
An amazing squad of people. They would have met Carroll plenty of times. RIP.

I’ve seen the video a few times now, end every time he starts spelling his late wife’s name it destroys me…
man, we suck as a species as proven moreso than ever every single second of the past 10 yrs, but there are still moments, like this whole mission, where it does make me still think ‘nah this is what we are actually about, there’s still greatness somewhere every day’
This mission has been a bright spot of my year thus far. I’m so grateful they are sharing their journey with us, it reminds me that the universe is so much bigger and beautiful that we can ever imagine, despite all the crap we are dealing here on Earth.
If you love someone, make sure they know before it’s to late..
RIP Carroll
We should only elect Astronauts as President

“It’s a bright spot on the Moon” broke me. What an amazing way to remember their mother those young ladies now have. It’s so easy to forget we are all the same. Through all the hate and division we are all human beings.
An incredibly sweet moment. They were crying, im sure mission control was crying, I was crying. Shows how in the end, we are all the same.
One of the most famous Catalan song is about a man in love in the moon, which was written by the guitarist of SAU after he lost his wife to an illness. I would love to imagine that somewhere both women are connected by being immortalized on the moon.
My takeaway from the Artemis II mission is that we all really needed to see this kind of humanity and teamwork in action to remind us it is possible – the actual aspect of going to the moon is probably the least important part of it all.
These people just seem like good people ā¤ļø
Beautiful š¤
man š„¹
*my tears floating all around that damn ship getting in the way*
Fucking hell, I haven’t cried in a couple of years and this is what does me in.
Beautiful moment of humanity in the stars āØ
ā„ļø
Loved to the moon and back. Rest easy, Carroll.
The fuck guys! Itās raining down here
A cool moment between some people doing the coolest shit imaginable
Iām not sobbing youāre sobbing. š
Iāll go out and look for Carroll tonight. What a lovely tribute.
That’s beautiful. What a lasting memory of Carroll and those who knew her.
I grew up down the road from Jeremy Hansenās family. Sort of. Theyād built a damn near mansion at the end of our road of acreage properties. One day towards the end of building it, my family drove by to see the progress that had been made. He was also wandering around the property, checking things out, and he noticed us and waved us down the driveway. My little kid brain was like āoh shit weāre in troubleā thinking we had no right to be there (at the end of a long driveway outside of their propertyāwe were good, but I was real little).
When we reached him near the house, he said āhey neighbours! Want a tour?ā And astronaut Jeremy Hansen gave my family an interior tour of the massive house he was building for his family. In this moment Iām struggling to recall exactly how many kids he had, but I think I remember one little boy and twin girls at the time. Pls donāt crucify me if thatās incorrect, I just remember the huge window seats for the girls to read in. Whole family was lovely.
They either lived there very shortly, or not at all, before they moved from northern Alberta to Houston to begin his training. I was little, but big enough to know that I knew a real life astronaut once upon a time, and his name always stuck with me. My entire family wishes him and his nothing but the best.
Keep making us proud, Jeremy. Youāre a cool guy.

Man that’s some real humanity right there. I didn’t know chopping onions in space was allowed. A beautiful gesture to the captain’s late wife Carroll. Never far from her family’s thoughts, just look up at the moon. tear jerker moment. Safe travels to the flight team.
We will all die one day. But essentially no one else (except maybe a few other astronauts etc) will have a spot on the moon named after them as a legacy. What an amazing way to honor her.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WORK WHILE THERE ARE ALL THESE TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE!?
This entire project has illuminated good aspects and hope for humanity.
Best thing I’ve seen all day, and that space group hug at the end with him bringing everyone in šā„ļøš
I watched this live… and cried.
But it also reminded me of this video from another great Canadian Astronaut.
