A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution honors the crew of the Artemis II mission for their historic lunar flyby. The crew includes Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen. They launched from the Kennedy Space Center on April 1, 2026, using a Space Launch System rocket. The mission involved a 10-day journey that traveled 252,756 miles from Earth. The crew successfully demonstrated humanity's return to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. Finally, the resolution supports declaring a "National Artemis II Mission Day" to commemorate the event.
