Watch: BBC asks Artemis II crew a question in space

The BBC’s Science Editor Rebecca Morelle has spoken to the four Artemis II astronauts as they journey back home from their dramatic lunar fly-by that saw them travel further from Earth than any other humans.

On what is expected to be their final call from the capsule before splashdown on Saturday, mission specialist Christina Koch said she will mainly miss the “camaraderie”, describing the relationship forged between crew members as “brothers and sisters”.
