Canadian Jeremy Hansen and the other astronauts from the historic Artemis II mission are set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House today.
The White House says Hansen, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch are to take part in a greeting in the Oval Office nearly three weeks after splashing down in the Pacific Ocean following a 10-day lunar fly-around.
The four-person crew travelled farther from the surface of the Earth than anyone before them.
Hansen became the first non-American to travel beyond low Earth orbit and the first person to speak French while en route to the moon.
Trump invited the astronauts to the White House when he spoke with them hours after their spaceship had travelled around the far side of the moon.
The Artemis II crew also attended Trump's State of the Union address in February.
