The Artemis II team gained a new member Friday, and the crew made sure their youngest teammate had the right stuff for space. When the Artemis crew launched from Florida last month, Jack, a 5-year-old aspiring astronaut from Atlanta, told CBS News he’s “so obsessed with space” and wore his own spacesuit for the launch. The suit bore the rank of commander, so CBS News’ Rob Marciano gave Jack a nickname: Commander Jack. Commander Jack, dressed in his white spacesuit, joined “CBS Mornings” Friday for a town hall event with the Artemis crew, and the astronauts had a surprise for him. Mission specialist Christina Koch presented Jack with an orange spacesuit matching the ones the astronauts wore during the mission. “It says commander just like yours, so you can still keep your title,” Koch said.
