  "account": "NASA announced on Wednesday that three of the four astronauts who flew around the moon in April 2024 for the Artemis II mission will transition to emeritus status in September. Commander Reid Wiseman and pilot Victor Glover will assist NASA as consultants while pursuing other endeavors. Canadian mission specialist Jeremy Hansen will move from active to reserve status in the Canadian military. The emeritus program allows experienced astronauts to continue contributing to NASA's future missions. Hansen is retiring from the Royal Canadian Air Force and will co-author a book about his Artemis 2 mission and co-release it in October.",
