Artemis astronauts answer more questions from Canadian kids during lunar flyby.

Jeremy Hansen, Reid Wiseman and Christina Koch held a live question-and-answer from NASA's Orion about four days into the 10-day Artemis II mission, taking questions submitted by Canadian children; the crew is reported to be more than halfway to the moon and will perform a lunar flyby on Day 6.

Jeremy Hansen and two U.S. crewmates took part in a live question-and-answer session from inside NASA's Orion about four days into Artemis II. The 10-day mission is a lunar flyby and is the first crewed voyage to the moon since the Apollo era. The virtual event answered questions submitted by Canadian children and was the second session of its kind. Hansen is days away from becoming the first Canadian to circle the moon as part of this mission. Noted details: - The live Q&A included Jeremy Hansen, Reid Wiseman and Christina Koch speaking from aboard the Orion capsule. - The event occurred about four days into the 10-day Artemis II mission and was the second Q&A aimed at children. - Children asked practical questions about food in space, whether organs change in microgravity, and whether Earth can appear crescent-shaped from orbit. - Hansen mentioned feeling blood shift toward his head and described a slightly puffy face; Koch noted organs adapt in microgravity and mentioned a risk of kidney issues after long exposure. - NASA posted that the crew was "moonbound," shared photos of the moon and the capsule interior, and the crew expects to perform a lunar flyby on Day 6 before returning to Earth. Summary: The crew’s public Q&A offered a straightforward look at everyday conditions aboard Artemis II and highlighted some physiological effects of microgravity described by the astronauts. The four-person crew is more than halfway to the moon and plans a lunar flyby on Day 6, with return scheduled later in the mission.
