Artemis II Crew Honored with Space Medal | Denver News

President Trump is set to honor the Artemis II crew with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, a rare and prestigious award given to only 30 astronauts in history — including legends like Neil Armstrong — for their historic lunar voyage, the first in over 50 years. The mission, lasting ten days and ending in a successful splashdown on April 10th, was led by NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen. Celebrated at Houston’s Johnson Space Center on August 28th, the medal recognizes their extraordinary contribution to space exploration and humanity’s future beyond Earth — echoing past honors like those awarded to Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken for pioneering commercial spaceflight.
