The Artemis II crew is making waves once again, this time with their creative and amusing rendition of the popular “Full House” opening credits. The astronauts put their own spin on the well-known intro, aptly calling it “Full Capsule.” This fun and unique video has gained attention and praise from all around the world, showcasing the camaraderie and creativity of the team.
The video, which has now gone viral, was filmed during the crew’s training and preparation for the upcoming Artemis II mission. It features all four of the crew members, Megan McArthur, Shane Kimbrough, Akihiko Hoshide, and Thomas Pesquet, as they enthusiastically lip-sync and dance to the iconic “Full House” theme song. The video is shot within the International Space Station (ISS), adding an extra level of excitement and making it truly out of this world.
The five-minute video starts with Megan McArthur, the pilot of the Artemis II mission, walking into the ISS kitchen and starting to prepare breakfast while singing along to the theme song. As she continues with her morning routine, she is joined by the other crew members, each adding their own unique touch to the performance. The video also includes a cameo appearance by the ISS Commander, Mark Vande Hei, who makes a brief appearance at the end.
The video has been praised for its creativity and lightheartedness, with many stating that it brings a much-needed sense of joy and fun during these challenging times. Not only does it showcase the crew’s talent and humor, but it also highlights the incredible teamwork and bond that the crew has formed during their training and time together on the ISS.
In an interview, crew member Thomas Pesquet shared, “We wanted to do something fun and memorable during our time on the ISS, and what better way than to recreate the iconic ‘Full House’ opening credits. It was a great way to bond and have some fun while preparing for our mission.”
The video has also caught the attention of the original “Full House” cast, with John Stamos, who played Uncle Jesse, commenting on Twitter, “Looks like we have some competition! But seriously, this is awesome. Good luck with the mission, Artemis II crew!”
This is not the first time the Artemis II crew has used their creativity to bring a smile to people’s faces. In December 2020, they released a video of themselves decorating the ISS with Christmas lights, bringing a festive feel to the space station. These light-hearted moments not only showcase the crew’s spirit but also serve as a reminder of the incredible work they are doing on the ISS.
The Artemis II mission is a crucial step in NASA’s plans to land the first woman and next man on the moon by 2024. The mission will also mark the first time humans have traveled to the moon since the Apollo missions in the 1970s. The astronauts on board, along with the entire Artemis program, are paving the way for future space exploration and expanding our understanding of the universe.
The “Full Capsule” video is a testament to the incredible talent, determination, and teamwork of the Artemis II crew. It is a reminder that even in the most challenging and demanding situations, there is always room for some fun and laughter. This video has not only brought a smile to people’s faces, but it has also brought the world together in support of the Artemis II mission.
As we eagerly await the launch of the Artemis II mission, we can also look forward to more moments of creativity and inspiration from the incredible team on the ISS. They continue to push the boundaries of what is possible and inspire us all to reach for the stars. So, let’s sing along with the Artemis II crew, “Everywhere you look, there’s a heart, a hand to hold onto.” And with the Artemis program, the possibilities are limitless.
