Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen and the rest of the Artemis II crew received a hero’s welcome on Thursday at the Canadian Space Agency headquarters in Longueuil, Que., after their journey to the far side of the moon.
Hansen told a cheering crowd on Montreal’s South Shore that many of the people in the room helped make the mission a success.
