Lunar crater named after Artemis commander's deceased wife
Artemis astronauts at the outer edge of human space travel had an emotional moment Monday as they named a crater in honor of the deceased wife of mission commander Reid Wiseman.
"It's a bright spot on the Moon. And we would like to call it Carroll," Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen told a live broadcast.
The crater can be seen "at certain times of the Moon's transit around Earth," he said.
As Wiseman and others wiped away tears, the four astronauts pulled together in a silent, floating embrace.
The Artemis II crew baptized another crater "Integrity," the name they have given their spacecraft.
The four astronauts became on Monday the humans to travel furthest from Earth, as they prepared to view areas of the Moon never before seen by the naked eye as part of NASA's historic lunar flyby.
"We most importantly choose this moment to challenge this generation and the next, to make sure this record is not long-lived," Hansen said.
Carroll Taylor Wiseman died of cancer in 2020, and Reid Wiseman, a former fighter pilot, has been raising their two daughters on his own since then.
