Announcing the winner of the Museum’s 2027 Michael Collins Trophy for Current Achievement: The Artemis II Mission Team @NASA's Artemis II mission captured the attention of the world in April 2026 as commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen traveled around the Moon and back — the first crewed deep space mission in over 50 years.

Announcing the winner of the Museum’s 2027 Michael Collins Trophy for Lifetime Achievement: Apollo astronaut Charlie Duke! Gen. Charles M. “Charlie” Duke is one of the most accomplished astronauts of the Apollo era and continues to be a powerful advocate for human space exploration and scientific discovery. Duke served as a fighter pilot and aerospace engineer before walking on the Moon during Apollo 16.

In the foreground, miniature habitation modules and other lunar surface assets sit atop a gray, rocky terrain model, demonstrating how infrastructure could support sustained lunar exploration. The display is illustrative and does not represent a finalized Moon Base design. Behind the model stands an orange Orion Crew Survival System suit, with a stage and large American flag visible in the background. Credit: NASA/Briana Zamora

Today, we’re excited to welcome @POTUS to @NASAKennedy as we begin building a global stage worthy of America’s leadership in aerospace. CAPEWEEK will be a great American gathering for the people and technologies shaping the future of aerospace, bringing together builders, operators, entrepreneurs, engineers, pilots, investors, explorers, and hundreds of thousands of members of the public. There is no better stage for this than Kennedy Space Center and the runway that welcomed the Space Shuttle home. This is where America can show the world what we are building next.

A common axiom in spaceflight is to treat every launch, space walk, and opportunity like it may be your last. I arrived at the international space station expecting to do zero space walks and hoping for one. I've been fortunate to work with the teams across @nasa far more than expected. Yesterday, was a peak moment full of unexpected challenges, real-time solution, and mission success. I feel blessed and thankful for this opportunity to make space a better place for us all. Thanks to the entire team for making it safe, making it fun, and getting it done! It will be the highlight of my career to work with you!

If you’re under 26, you have never lived a day without someone orbiting above you. 26 years ago today, the first resident crew arrived at the ISS. Humanity has had a home in space ever since. The research and advances made possible by our crews, teams on the ground and international partners have helped prepare us to live and work on the Moon and Mars. As we transition to the next era of our presence in low Earth orbit, we build on everything they have made possible.
