Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told the astronauts of the Artemis II mission that Canadians ‘couldn’t be more proud’ of them.
In a lighthearted call from Canada to space, Carney spoke with the astronauts about their experiences and lessons from the mission. He also joked about their preference for Nutella or maple syrup on pancakes, following the viral moment when cameras caught a jar of Nutella floating through the microgravity inside the capsule. The Artemis astronauts showed off a Canadian flag patch to Carney, with the prime minister’s title on the back.
Carney also invited the four astronauts to visit Canada after they splash down from their mission on 10 April.
