Astronaut Reid Wiseman’s Wife Dead: Inside Carroll’s Cancer Fight
Reid Wiseman, the NASA astronaut tapped for the Artemis II moon mission, lost his wife Carroll to cancer—and now the space program is honoring her memory in the most cosmic way possible. The crew dedicated an entire moon crater to Carroll, a registered nurse who spent her career saving lives on Earth before her death.
Carroll wasn’t just standing on the sidelines while her husband reached for the stars. She was out here doing her own heroic work, helping patients as a nurse and building a legacy of compassion. The kind of partner who makes you believe in the good stuff, you know?
The Artemis II team’s decision to name a lunar crater after her is basically the ultimate tribute—her name will literally be on the moon forever. It’s a stunning way to remember someone who dedicated her life to caring for others, even as her own health was crumbling behind the scenes.
