Canada’s technical expertise in space robotics got the country a seat to the moon, and then its cultural identity took center stage on the Artemis II mission.

Floating in the frictionless capsule on Monday, Mr. Hansen thanked Mr. Trump for his country’s leadership on the Artemis II program.

The president named the Canadian hockey giant Wayne Gretzky, a friend, in his compliments to Mr. Hansen.

Decades from now students may listen back on this phone call and wonder what Wayne Gretzky had to do with anything.
