League City resident Victor Glover and his three Artemis II crewmates will make their first Houston public appearance Wednesday, Sept. 30, at the University of Houston's Fertitta Center.

NASA astronauts Glover, Reid Wiseman and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, will appear at the free event beginning at 7 p.m. CDT. A limited number of tickets are available online through the university's ticketing site.

The appearance wraps up the crew's post-flight campaign, according to NASA. The National Aeronautic Association will formally recognize the four astronauts for traveling farther from Earth than any humans in history.

During the April mission aboard the Orion spacecraft, the crew reached 252,756 miles from Earth. That topped the 248,655-mile mark set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by more than 4,100 miles, as CNBC reported during the flight. In all, the crew flew 695,081 miles over nearly 10 days before splashing down off San Diego on April 10.

The mission notched several firsts. Koch became the first woman to fly to the moon. Glover became the first Black astronaut to make the journey. Hansen became the first non-U.S. citizen to reach lunar space. All four crew members were awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.

Glover, the mission's pilot, lives in League City with his family. Dozens of neighbors lined the streets to welcome him home April 13. He stopped in his driveway to speak to the crowd.

"Some of us have never met before and you know whose fault that is? Ours. So, let's choose to do this. Let's be this more. Let's be neighbors," Glover told the gathering that day, as NBC Los Angeles reported.

During the April 6 lunar flyby, Hansen radioed Mission Control with wonder at the view. "It is blowing my mind what you can see with the naked eye from the moon right now," he said, according to CNBC's coverage of the flight.

Wiseman served as mission commander. Hansen, a Royal Canadian Air Force colonel, was mission specialist.

NASA's next crewed lunar milestone, the Artemis III mission, is planned for 2027.
