Referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
This resolution is a non-binding House statement that honors the Artemis II crew, congratulates them, and expresses support for declaring a National Artemis II Mission Day. It was introduced in the House and only represents the House's views; it does not create binding federal law or require action by the President or any agency. In practice it serves as an official expression of recognition and congratulations by the House of Representatives.
This House resolution honors the crew of NASA’s Artemis II lunar flyby, recognizes their April 2026 mission and splashdown, and supports designating a National Artemis II Mission Day.
It names the four crew members and highlights firsts, including the first Black astronaut and first non-American to travel to the Moon’s vicinity.
The resolution is ceremonial and contains no funding or regulatory provisions.
Simple House resolutions are symbolic and do not become law; content is uncontroversial but nonbinding.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a standard commemorative House resolution: it clearly states and documents the reasons for recognition and contains brief operative clauses expressing support and congratulations.
