"Didn't wanna leave space": Artemis II's Reid Wiseman reveals the one reason that pulled him back to Earth

Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman, during media interaction at Houston on April 16, talked about the awe of being 250,000 miles from Earth, but said the risk of reentry—and the desire to be safe for his family—made him want to come home, despite not wanting to leave space. The crew took off for the mission on April 1 and returned to Earth on April 10.
