HOUSTON (AP) \u2014 The new space movie \u201cProject Hail Mary\u201d starring Ryan Gosling is getting rave reviews more than halfway to the moon<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen said Saturday that he and his Artemis II crewmates<\/a> got to watch the film with their families before launching on the lunar fly-around. He said it was \u201ca real treat\u201d to view the movie while getting ready for his own space adventure<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Gosling, a fellow Canadian, sent best wishes to the four astronauts ahead of Wednesday\u2019s liftoff.<\/p>\n

\u201cArt imitates science and vice versa,\u201d Hansen said during a live televised event arranged by the Canadian Space Agency. \u201cI thought it was just such an inspirational example \u2014 somebody who goes out there and just gets what was done to save humanity. It\u2019s a pretty extraordinary example that we can all follow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hansen is the first non-U.S. citizen to fly to the moon.<\/p>\n
