HOUSTON – The NASA and Canadian Artemis II astronauts have reached the point in their Moon mission training of cosmic connection where they are working in tandem, even without words.

NASA's Artemis II mission commander Reid Weisman told reporters Wednesday that with less than a year until the Moon orbiting testing flight of NASA’s new lunar rocket, he and the rest of the American-Canadian crew are ready.

"You get to that point where you do not have to communicate any longer," Reisman said. "I can just see the corner of an eye and know exactly what’s happening with that person."

Weisman said this "aha" moment happened a few months ago during an Orion spacecraft simulation.
