Marking a major milestone for human spaceflight. 🚀

Reid Wiseman (@astro_reid) and Howard Hu made good on a preflight promise at Space Center Houston, which recently had the honor of hosting the pair for an unforgettable gathering.

To honor their engineering teams and to celebrate the success and historic impact of the Artemis II mission, Wiseman and Hu received commemorative tattoos by famed artist @okanuckun at our facility last week.

It was a privilege to host guests who shared this meaningful memory as they honored the teamwork and dedication behind the mission.

Thank you for letting us share this unforgettable tribute here in Space City! 👨‍🚀🛰️ taken in Space Center Houston by @spacecenterhou

Would you ever strap in and be submerged underwater in HUET training?

I had an absolute blast participating in Space Center Houston’s Lead Like Astronauts day. I can’t recommend it enough. They do individual and groups, so be sure to propose it to your company as team building. It happens once a year so start planning now!
