Artemis II astronauts cry and hug as they name Moon crater after Reid Wiseman’s late wife, Carroll

On April 6, Canadian astronaut and Artemis II Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen told Mission Control that the crew wanted to suggest names for two craters. He first proposed naming one crater after their Orion capsule, which carries the name 'Integrity.' Then, he singled out a heartfelt note to honor Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll Taylor Wiseman, who died of cancer in 2020 at age 46. During the tribute, Hansen's voice broke as he spelled Carroll's name. Wiseman and Christina Koch were also seen wiping away tears. The crew then came together for an emotional hug as Mission Control radioed confirmation on their suggestions.
