An important call to highlight a historic mission. CSA Astronaut Jeremy Hansen is about to become the first Canadian to venture toward the Moon, he carries the pride and innovation of an entire nation with him. Go Artemis Go!🚀

Humanity is one small step closer to returning to the moon. At 6:35 pm EDT, the Artemis II mission blasted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, sending four astronauts around the moon and back, testing crucial technologies that will pave the way for future moon landings. 🔗 on.natgeo.com/Y9brgH

Marking the launch of @NASA's Artemis II mission to the moon, The King has written to mission specialist, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Colonel Jeremy Hansen - the first Canadian to travel on a moon mission - commending his leadership and vision. The first rocket to go around the moon in more than 50 years, Artemis II will be NASA’s first mission with crew aboard the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft. As global space activity, exploration, and the space economy rapidly expand, His Majesty recognises the importance of stewardship and responsible governance to protect the infinite wonders of the universe.

King Charles III sent a letter to @Astro_Jeremy to acknowledge Canada’s role in the Artemis II mission. “I was deeply touched to receive this message, which honours the collective vision and dedication behind this historic moment.” — Jeremy Hansen

4 people are in there with hopes, dreams, risk and the unknown. It makes me breathless, knowing how they're feeling and what they're facing. So exciting to see what we're capable of when we work together in common purpose, deciding to push back the edges of our collective ignorance. Have a great voyage, crew of @NASAArtemis!

Earlier this evening I spoke with President Trump and congratulated him on the successful launch of Artemis II.    We discussed the courage of the astronauts, including Colonel Jeremy Hansen, the value of cooperation in space, and developments in the Middle East conflict.
