Artemis II Crew Honored with Congressional Gold Medal

Senator Mark Kelly is spearheading a bipartisan effort to award the Artemis II crew the rare Congressional Gold Medal — a historic honor usually reserved for monumental achievements, previously given only to Apollo 11. Just months after their groundbreaking mission — the first crewed lunar flyby in half a century — the astronauts are being recognized for pushing humanity farther from Earth than ever before. As a former astronaut who flew four times, Kelly knows the stakes and believes this mission, a vital step toward Mars, deserves this top civilian honor for reigniting America’s space legacy.
