An unusual moment occurred during a conversation between the Artemis II mission crew and former American President Donald Trump, quickly going viral on the internet. After a laudatory speech by Trump, the astronauts remained silent for over a minute, creating an awkward atmosphere. Trump congratulated the crew on the success of the mission, especially mentioning Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen and the recent discussions with Wayne Gretzky and the Prime Minister of Canada, who were proud of the crew's achievements.


After the long pause, someone from the communications team asked if the connection was working, confirming that the systems were functioning properly. The recording of this moment generated numerous comments on social media, with users joking that even hundreds of thousands of kilometers from Earth, a Trump speech cannot be avoided. The Artemis II mission is the first crewed mission to fly over the Moon since the Apollo program, and the astronauts are now on their way back to Earth, with splashdown scheduled for April 10.
