TobyMac & Mandisa Wake Up Artemis II Crew

The crew of Artemis II woke up on Day 6 of the mission while approaching the moon to a familiar anthem: “Good Morning” by Mandisa featuring TobyMac.

Back on Earth, TobyMac summed it up best:

It hits a little deeper knowing Mandisa’s voice is now quite literally echoing through space.

Released in 2011 from What If We Were Real, “Good Morning” has long been one of CCM’s most enduring crossover hits—RIAA Gold-certified, a radio staple, and now, officially… interplanetary. With over 100 million streams and hundreds of millions of social views, the song has already had serious reach, but this took the track to the moon.

Wilson performed the National Anthem ahead of the launch, a moment she later called “the most special day of my entire career.” In a deeply personal reflection, she shared that she once dreamed of becoming an astronaut and working for NASA before life took her down a different path. Standing there, watching Artemis II prepare for its journey, she described the moment as overwhelming, a reminder that “God writes stories far greater than we could ever imagine.”
