During a live call between President Donald Trump and NASA’s Artemis II crew on Monday, the conversation was interrupted by an awkward pause that lasted over a minute. After Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen thanked Trump on behalf of Canada for his “space leadership,” Trump claimed to have spoken with Wayne Gretzky and Prime Minister Mark Carney about Hansen’s accomplishments. However, no one heard anything back from Trump until Wiseman requested a comms check, prompting him to say he was still connected. The conversation then continued, but not before sparking widespread ridicule on social media for the awkward pause.
