Artemis II from an astronaut’s perspective

Earthrise combines an account of the Artemis II journey with the years of preparation behind it. Based on John Larsen’s interviews with astronaut Jeremy Hansen, the book presents the mission through Hansen’s perspective, including the crew’s travel around the Moon and the record distance described in the source. Training, teamwork, perseverance, and the broader history of human spaceflight give the mission context beyond its moments in space. The result is a narrative about both a crew’s deep-space journey and the work required to prepare for it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

The dramatic, high-stakes account of Artemis II, the first human journey into deep space in fifty years, told from the perspective of astronaut Jeremy Hansen

The historic Artemis II mission was celebrated around the world and broke the record for the farthest distance humans have ever travelled from Earth. Jeremy Hansen and his crew mates viewed parts of the moon never before seen by human eyes, journeyed a total of 700,237 miles, took the next step in space travel--and won the hearts of everyone back home on Earth in the process. Now, Earthrise gives readers a passenger-seat view into the daring deep-space journey and the long years of intense training, grit, and perseverance Hansen needed to prepare for lift-off and fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming an astronaut.

A riveting and intimate account of the iconic achievement of Artemis II, Earthrise--written by author John Larsen and based on extensive interviews he conducted with Hansen--is a testament to what can be achieved with unity, teamwork, and a bold belief in humanity's ability to reach for the stars.
