Astronaut Reid Wiseman recently completed a historic space mission, traveling farther from Earth than any human in history. After landing, one of his first requests was to meet with a chaplain. Wiseman was part of the Artemis II space mission, a crewed mission to orbit the moon that marked a significant milestone for NASA.

The request for a chaplain has drawn attention to the role of chaplains in supporting individuals in unique and challenging situations. Further details about Wiseman's experience and the role of chaplains are available from Christianity Today.
