In 2020 Reid Wiseman’s wife of 17 years, Carroll Taylor Wiseman, died of cancer. The couple had two daughters, and Wiseman struggled with the responsibility of being both a single parent and an astronaut. Wiseman was the commander of the Artemis II mission (April 1–10, 2026), and one of the most touching moments of the mission came when the crew said it wanted to name one of the craters they had discovered “Carroll,” in honor of Wiseman’s wife.
