The Artemis II missi on was a defining moment for space exploration — marking the first time in more than 50 years humans flew to the Moon. Today\, Hansen\, a decorate d fighter pilot and astronaut\, brings that experience to stages around th e world\, delivering a message that is equal parts awe-inspiring and actio nable. He translates one of humanity's greatest achievements into a powerf ul framework for leaders and teams ready to pursue their own audacious goa ls.\n\nHansen's path to the Moon began at age 12 with the Royal Canadian A ir Cadets\, a program he credits with instilling the discipline and self-c onfidence that shaped everything that followed. By 17\, he had earned his private pilot's licence\, and just one year later joined the military\, be ginning his university studies and training at the Collège militaire roya l de Saint-Jean in 1994. By his late 20s\, he was flying CF-18s on NORAD A rctic operations. And in 2009\, he was one of just two Canadians selected in the Canadian Space Agency’s (CSA) national astronaut recruitment camp aign.\n\nAfter completing training in 2011\, Hansen began working at NASA' s Johnson Space Center in Houston on assignment with the CSA. He served as a Mission Control capcom\, the critical voice between the ground and the International Space Station\, while taking on increasingly senior roles wi thin the astronaut corps. He trained underwater at NASA's Aquarius habitat off the Florida coast\, lived underground for six days in Sardinian caves as part of the European Space Agency's CAVES program\, and by 2017\, he w as leading NASA's astronaut training class — the first Canadian to do so .\n\nIn 2023\, Hansen was assigned to Artemis II. Alongside crewmates Reid Wiseman\, Victor Glover\, and Christina Koch\, he travelled more than 1.1 million kilometres\, surpassing the distance record from earth previously held by the crew of Apollo 13. Hansen made history as the first Canadian\ , and the first non-American\, to travel to the Moon.\n\nHansen holds a Ba chelor of Science in Space Science with first-class honours and a Master o f Science in Physics\, both from the Royal Military College of Canada in K ingston. In recognition of his remarkable career\, he has been awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society\, the Queen Elizabe th II Diamond Jubilee Medal\, and numerous military honours — a record t hat reflects decades of excellence.
