Astronaut Reid Wiseman Thinks We're Going to Be OK
About this episode
Hank Green talks with astronaut Reid Wiseman about his experiences and thoughts on space travel and social media.
The commander of NASA’s Artemis II mission slid into Hank’s DMs on Instagram asking to talk. Their conversation covers what it’s like to leave Earth behind, why astronauts need to be active followers, why Reid was wary about becoming a meme, and who was actually farthest away from Earth at the mission’s peak. Plus, they talk about Reid’s iconic Hello, World photograph, and the accidental time-lapse that captivated the internet. Got a question or a comment?
