Col. Jeremy Hansen will soon become the first Canadian ever to travel to the moon. He's a member of the four-person Artemis II crew, which will leave low Earth orbit next year and swing out and around the moon before returning to splashdown in the ocean.

Jeremy talks to us about being chosen for the team, what this mission will accomplish, its margin for error, and how it feels to be  part of a project that will pave the way for humanity to venture further into the cosmos than ever before.
