Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, born in Ontario, is set to join NASA's Artemis II mission to visit the Moon in Toronto later this month and participate in a cult-fave event, ROM After Dark. This will be Hansen's first visit to the Moon, representing the Canadian Space Agency on the first lunar expedition since the Apollo program was scrapped over 50 years ago. The mission, currently planned for November of 2024, will take place nearly 52 years to the day since the last Apollo mission in December of 1972. NASA plans to put one woman and one man on the Moon's surface by 2025, with the hope of using it as a launchpad to reach Mars.

Following the news back in April that Ontario-born Jeremy Hansen would be joining NASA's Artemis II mission, the Canadian astronaut is set to visit Toronto later this month to get up close and personal with his fellow Canadians.
On October 25—28, Hansen will be in town to speak with students, meet with others from the Canadian space sector, and, perhaps most hilariously, participate in the ROM's cult-fave event, ROM After Dark.
Notably, Hansen will be the first Canadian (ever!) to fly around the Moon when he represents the Canadian Space Agency on the first lunar expedition since the Apollo program was scrapped over 50 years ago.
The mission, currently planned for November of 2024, will actually commence nearly 52 years to the day since the last Apollo mission in December of 1972.
In fact, Artemis II is the beginning of a new phase in space exploration, with NASA planning to put one woman and one man on the Moon's surface by 2025, with the eventual hope of using it as a launchpad to reach Mars.
