Dr. Geoff Steeves Discusses Upcoming Artemis II Mission on CBC

The eyes of the world are on the launchpad as NASA prepares for Artemis II, the first crewed mission to the Moon in over half a century. Our own Dr. Geoff Steeves (Physics and Astronomy) recently sat down with CBC’s Gregor Craigie on On The Island to share his insights on this historic milestone.

Artemis II is a "Canadian first," marking the first time a Canadian astronaut, Jeremy Hansen, will travel beyond Earth’s orbit. For Dr. Steeves, the mission is personal; as a former Canadian astronaut candidate himself, he is a long-time friend of Hansen and has followed his journey closely.
