The new space movie Project Hail Mary<\/a> starring Ryan Gosling has gotten a rave review from more than halfway to the moon.<\/p>\n

Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen said on Saturday that he and his Artemis II<\/a> crewmates 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.<\/p>\n

Gosling<\/a>, Hansen\u2019s fellow Canadian, sent best wishes to the four astronauts in advance of Wednesday\u2019s liftoff. The actor and astronaut are both from the south-western Ontario city of London.<\/p>\n

\u201cArt imitates science and vice versa,\u201d Hansen said during a live televised event arranged by the Canadian Space<\/a> Agency. \u201cI thought it was just such an inspirational example \u2013 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-US citizen to fly to the moon.<\/p>\n

If all goes as planned, Hansen and his crewmates will set a record by venturing further from Earth than any human before \u2013 more than 250,000 miles. The current record is held by the crew of Apollo 13, a mission which received the Hollywood treatment with a critically acclaimed film<\/a> in 1995.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new space movie Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling has gotten a rave review from more than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":382329,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[61,60,82,247],"class_list":{"0":"post-382328","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-science","11":"tag-space"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/382329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
