OPINION — Artemis II’s crew inspired us all, flying farther than any humans before, looping the moon ahead of a future landing. Among them was Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, the first non-American to reach the moon. He likely won’t be the last. “Foreign policy” conjures embassies and negotiating tables.
