Get ready for some out-of-this-world fitness feats! The superstar astronauts set to embark on NASA's Artemis 2 mission are proving they have the stamina to take on the cosmos.

In a jaw-dropping display of athleticism, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, Reid Wiseman, and Jeremy Hansen recently took the 'Bobby and Pete Challenge' – and they crushed it! The challenge involved completing 50 pull-ups and 100 push-ups in under 10 minutes, an impressive feat they showcased in a thrilling 50-second video that NASA shared on X.

But what’s the story behind this viral challenge? It originates from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who brought this fitness test to life in a captivating video. The challenge made its way to NASA after Kennedy called out Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy, who didn't hesitate to pass it on to our adventurous astronauts.

As Wiseman, the commanding officer of Artemis 2, kicks off the challenge, he confidently declares, "Secretary Duffy, your Artemis 2 crew accepts the challenge!" His teammates joined in, setting the stage for the action that followed.

Watch in awe as the astronauts power through their push-ups and pull-ups, visibly sweating but determined. Their triumph is followed by a playful challenge to fellow astronauts Zena Cardman, Mike Fincke, and Jonny Kim, who are currently stationed aboard the International Space Station. "We want to see you compete and crush our times!" Wiseman quips, adding an element of friendly competition.

Artemis 2 is gearing up to be a monumental mission, representing NASA's next ambitious step in lunar exploration following the successful Artemis 1 launch, which circumnavigated the moon without a crew. Scheduled for a 2026 launch window, Artemis 2 will take our brave astronauts on a remarkable journey around the moon, setting the stage for an eventual moon landing with Artemis 3 in 2027.

Stay tuned as these astronauts not only prepare for the ultimate space adventure but also set new standards in fitness and camaraderie!
