U.S. President Donald Trump congratulated the Artemis astronauts on their historic mission circling the Moon, calling them “modern-day pioneers” who have made America “incredibly proud.” During a live conversation, Trump praised their courage and leadership in space exploration, highlighting the mission as a major milestone more than 50 years after the last lunar flyby.
The president also engaged the crew with questions about their experience, including what it felt like to lose communication with Earth while passing the Moon’s far side. Astronauts described the moment as both intense and inspiring, balancing prayer with scientific observation.
With international collaboration, including a Canadian astronaut on board, the mission symbolizes global unity in space exploration. Trump reaffirmed America’s ambition to lead humanity’s journey into the stars and invited the astronauts to the White House upon their return.
