HOUSTON—The memory of a beloved wife and mother was commemorated in bright lunar dust on April 6 as four humans flew around the moon for the first time in more than 50 years.
In keeping with a seminal tradition of exploration, Artemis II astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen announced their intention to name two unnamed craters on the lunar surface as they prepared to begin their lunar flyby.
