Prime Minister Mark Carney had a video call with the astronauts on Artemis II, and as he quickly learned, the lag is real when you're talking to space. Speaking primarily with mission specialist Jeremy Hansen, who is Canadian, Carney commended the crew on their bravery, their willingness to take risks and to learn from failure, especially for the young people watching. "We do think risk is necessary, but calculated risk, well thought-out risk, and risk that you balance with others," Hansen responded. "For youth that are making those decisions, do it in collaboration with others." The planned splashdown for Artemis II is on Friday.
