The astronauts of the Artemis II mission discussed the profound emotional impact of the experience in space and the technical difficulties encountered. They emphasized the importance of psychological preparation.

The astronauts of the Artemis II mission, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, held a press conference at Johnson Space Center, discussing their historic 10-day experience in which they orbited the Moon. They described the view of Earth from space as overwhelming and hard to put into words. Although they encountered minor technical issues, such as those related to the toilet in the Orion capsule, the crew managed to achieve all their objectives. The importance of mental health was a central topic, with Victor Glover explaining that psychological support was essential for adapting to the extreme conditions of space. The astronauts emphasized that the success of the mission is not only the result of technical skills but also of an extensive team that contributed to their mental well-being. This shift in mindset reflects a new approach in space exploration, where mental health is recognized as a crucial element for success.
