Artemis II is almost to the moon. It's crew is good and more pictures of our blue and green planet have been sent back. Once they go around the far side of the moon they will be out of communication range. Then they slingshot home. This is a 10 day run for future missions.

Oh and Jeremy Hansen isn't the first Canadian on a NASA mission. Commander Chris Hatfield was on several missions. I would have to look up how many.
