New York City Mayor Eric Adams is reportedly considering a ticker-tape parade to honor the crew of NASA's historic Artemis II mission, which successfully completed the first crewed lunar flyby in December. The parade, a tradition typically reserved for triumphant military heroes and Olympic champions, would be a fitting tribute to the astronauts who embarked on a groundbreaking journey. However, there's a catch: Adams is only willing to make it happen if NASA picks up the tab. The space agency's decision on the matter could be a significant gesture of appreciation for the city's support of the Artemis program and its contributions to the mission's success.
