The Artemis II crew was apparently nostalgic for Earth on Sunday, as they did their own version of the opening credits of ’80s TV comedy Full House.
They looked at paperwork only to look up and smile right on time, gave the camera a smile or a wave, even shared a laugh with others, with their name underneath, just like TV audiences of yesterday were used to seeing in a video shared by the official account of NASA. There was even a cameo by Rise, the zero-gravity indicator.
But in case anyone was confused, Commander Reid Wiseman explained.
“We were doing scenes from bad ’80s sitcoms when they introduce the cast of characters,” he said. “So that’s why we all did those, and we are cracking up up here.”
The video was given a cheeky caption.
“Everywhere you look, everywhere you go—there’s the Artemis II crew,” it read. “These four astronauts are currently on their way to fly around the Moon in NASA’s Orion capsule, which is roughly comparable to two minivans. You could say it’s a full house!”
After all, commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch, and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency wanted to have some fun during their very serious mission of flying around the moon. Sunday marked the astronauts’ fifth day of 10 total they are expected to spend on their journey.
The original Full House aired for eight seasons, from 1987 to 1995. The ABC sitcom, a cornerstone of its TGIF lineup, which also included shows such as Family Matters, Step by Step, and Boy Meets World. Sequel series Fuller House, which starred the grown-up Tanner women, ran for five seasons, from 2016 to 2020.
Starring the late Bob Saget, as well as Dave Coulier, John Stamos, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the comedy depicted a non-traditional family living under one roof.
Stamos, for one, appeared amused to have been included.
“Honestly?” he wrote in a repost. “If aliens make contact now, they’re gonna think our entire civilization is just hugs, life lessons, and Uncle Jesse fixing everything in 22 minutes.”

Official versions of the opening credit sequence featured Bure’s D.J. Tanner talking on a landline, Sweetin’s Stephanie dancing, and the family gathering at the kitchen table and at the park near their San Francisco home.
Officially titled “Everywhere You Look,” the very catchy tune was co-written by Jesse Frederick and Bennett Salvay. The musicians also came up with the tracks for other sitcoms of the era, too, including Family Matters and Perfect Strangers, another TGIF title.
