1:43Now PlayingThe Artemis II crew was asked a simple question — if one photo had to represent the mission on a USPS stamp, what would it be? Their answer says a lot about how they see this mission.
Reid Wiseman captured an image of Earth glowing with northern lights as the crew traveled toward the moon. It wasn't the first attempt — he adjusted the camera settings and kept working until he got it right. The crew was deliberate about not taking individual credit for photos, but made an exception to give credit where it was due.
The message behind the choice: this mission didn't belong to four astronauts. It belonged to everyone.
