Artemis astronauts at the outer edge of human space travel had an emotional moment Monday as they named a crater in honor of the deceased wife of mission commander Reid Wiseman. 

"It's a bright spot on the Moon. And we would like to call it Carroll," Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen told a live broadcast.
