Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen after the Artemis II\u2019s historic mission to the moon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">A media advisory from the Canadian Space Agency says Industry Minister M\u00e9lanie Joly will also take part.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">On Monday, Hansen and his three American crewmates completed a six-hour lunar flyby, going farther into space than any humans before and breaking Apollo 13\u2019s distance record from 1970.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text mv-16 l-inset text-pb-8\"

moon\u2019s south pole in just two years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Carney has said that, with Artemis II, Canada became the second country in the world ever to send an astronaut on a lunar mission, and that it\u2019s a testament to Hansen\u2019s \u201cexceptional skill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">The crew, after capturing images and other geological observations of the moon, is set to splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prime Minister Mark
