The Artemis missions have changed everything. For the first time in half a century, humans are returning to the Moon—reaching terrain no mission has ever touched. A crewed lunar landing is two years away. The dark side is no longer myth. And the questions are no longer if—they’re who, why, and what comes next.

Join Colonel Chris Hadfield—acclaimed astronaut, commander, spacewalker, and bestselling author—for a gripping journey through the most consequential moment in space exploration history.

Drawing on his three spaceflights, his time commanding the International Space Station, and his work alongside NASA, SpaceX, and world governments including the British Royal Family, Chris places the Artemis era in full, thrilling context—from the geopolitics of lunar resources to satellite mega-constellations to the $2 trillion space economy reshaping our world.

Awe-inspiring visuals. Rare behind-the-scenes insight. Personal stories from the edge of human experience. One night with the man referred to as “the most famous astronaut since Neil Armstrong”. Live Q&A.

This is history happening. Be part of understanding it first.
