<p>One of the more common requests I get from founders sounds reasonable on the surface. “Can you introduce us to…?” Fill in the blank: a prime contractor, a government buyer, a program manager, an investor. The assumption is that access is the constraint—that progress depends on getting into the right room with the right people, ideally through someone who can vouch for you.</p>

<p>Flight Day 7 of the Artemis 2 mission offered the crew—including CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen—a slightly quieter schedule following the intense activity of the lunar flyby. The day kicked off with the release of spectacular new imagery, including a stunning view of a total solar eclipse captured from the Moon, revealing the Sun's corona and the softly illuminated lunar surface.</p>

<p>On Flight Day 6 of the Artemis 2 mission, the crew—including CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen—completed humanity’s first crewed lunar flyby in over 50 years. The Orion spacecraft officially entered the lunar sphere of influence early in the day, meaning the Moon's gravity overtook Earth's as the primary force acting on the capsule.</p>
