The world, especially the US, is still reeling from the excitement of the recent space adventure’s success.

However, many people are wondering:

  • How are the four astronauts feeling?
  • Did they see anything they never imagined?
  • Did they find the mission over 406, 000 kilometers away exhilarating or scary?
  • Has the experience changed any of their perspectives in life?

The Artemis II crew of four, Christina Koch, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Jeremy Hansen, will soon be on hand to answer as many questions as possible.

The astronauts will hold an interactive Press Conference at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.

People across the world will be able to follow the discussions with the four astronauts on April 16th, 2026, at 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

Kenya is 7 hours ahead of EDT, so Kenyans can tune in at 9 p.m. (21:00) the same day.

In Dubai, the live interview will be at 10 p.m. (22:00) the same day.

In London, it will be at 7 pm (19:00).

In Beijing, it will be at 2 a.m. the next day, the 17th.

In Tokyo, it will be at 3 a.m. the next day, the 17th.

Media Speaking with the Astronauts

If you want to interact on behalf of a media house, you can call in by phone.

In preparation, write an email to the NASA newsroom to express your interest in speaking with the astronauts. The email should reach them a day before, on Wednesday at 5 p.m. CDT (6 p.m. EDT).

Then on the D-day, Thursday, 16th, dial in at least 10 minutes before the news conference starts.

Any media person who NASA has already credentialed will be free to enter the venue in person.

About the Artemis II astronauts

The four astronauts left Florida’s Kennedy Space Center on April 1, 2026, and returned on April 10, 2026. For the 10 days they were in space, they manually piloted the Orion spacecraft.

Their arrival was marked by a successful splash into the Pacific Ocean, off the San Diego coastline. Helicopters were then used to pick them up from the floating capsule and take them to Houston. They arrived in Houston on April 11th.

They have been in Houston since then, getting re-orientated to the earthly environment: being evaluated and receiving relevant debriefs.
