(Houston, TX) The four astronauts on Artemis II have landed after going farther into space than any human has before, and one person from southwestern Pennsylvania can say they took part in the historic mission. Seneca Valley High School graduate Gary Jordan was the voice that was speaking to them from mission control at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, where he is the manager of communications and public affairs. Jordan was the sole voice who translated for the public the conversations between the astronauts and the CapCom, which was the person who was speaking to the crew. This happened for three hours or so, and this helped the public to understand all that was happening.
