The Story
President Donald Trump is set to honor four astronauts who traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history during a record-breaking journey around the moon earlier this year.
Trump will award the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch. The four Artemis II astronauts, along with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, were welcomed to the Oval Office by President Trump on April 29, 2026. The Artemis II mission involved a journey around the moon. Other space-related news includes NASA's nuclear Dragonfly copter, which is planned to search for signs of life on Titan. A NASA-led study also indicates that some Earth microbes could survive on the moon.
