The Artemis II timeline has marked its halfway point, with its four astronauts - including Canadian Jeremy Hansen - now officially having gone the farthest any human has ever been from Earth at more than 400,000 kilometers away. They've also undergone a lunar flyby, orbiting around the moon to make observations and complete 10 science objectives.
Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Olivier Lamarre, a robotics engineer at NordSpace, to discuss the mission's timeline and goals, the impacts of Canadian talent and intelligence towards aerospace milestones, and what could be next for Canada's impact on intel on the moon.
