Reid Wiseman, at one end, gave the most emotional tribute to his late wife, Carroll, by naming a bright crater on the Moon in her memory. Well, to reach the Moon was not easy. The Orion Spacecraft had to undergo multiple tests, which were important for the Artemis II mission. In one of the weekly updates, the commander revealed how awesome it was to see his kids working with him. As seen in the video posted by Reid, his teen daughters, Ellie and Katherine, were seen entering the Orion capsule, being with their dad during one of the astronauts’ dress rehearsals. They looked curious to see the spacecraft that had now carried the astronauts far away from Earth. Reid, in the video, had mentioned:
“It was our dress reharsal and I also got my kids and it was awesome to have them with us for the day. They can see the work. Artemis II crew weekly update for June 16-20, 2025. We are surrounded by inspiration! Lunar geology experts, training teams, and an added treat to have a few of our kids with us as we train for an upcoming major test in the Orion spacecraft…Cheers!”
