President Donald Trump presented the Congressional Space Medal of Honor on Friday to the Artemis II crew at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston after their crewed lunar flyby in April. The recipients were NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, the first non-NASA astronaut to receive the award. Trump also signed an executive order starting the creation of a U.S. Space Academy, establishing a presidential commission chaired by the NASA administrator to advise on the plan.
