President Donald Trump is meeting with the Artemis II astronauts at the White House.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.

WHAT IS THE NASA ARTEMIS PROGRAM?

Trump founded the Artemis program during his first term and has celebrated the effort to return to the moon as a revival of NASA. The four-person crew broke the record as the humans traveling furthest from Earth earlier this month in a 10-day voyage.

“President Trump is honored to host the legendary crew in the Oval Office tomorrow to celebrate their unmatched achievements,” White House spokeswoman Liz Huston told the New York Post on Tuesday.
