Country Artist Anne Wilson Has “Full Circle Moment” Singing the National Anthem at NASA’s Artemis II Launch

Anne Wilson is a Christian and Country artist who hails from Kentucky. Before music ever entered the picture, she had her sights set far beyond the stage - all the way to the stars.

Long before she found her voice as a singer, she dreamed of becoming an astronaut and working at NASA.

She had the privilege to perform the national anthem for NASA’s first crewed launch to the moon in over 50 years for the NASA Artemis II launch at Kennedy Space Center.

She writes, “What an incredible honor it was to sing the National Anthem at the Artemis II launch! This moment feels so full circle for me. There was a time in my life when I dreamed of becoming an astronaut and working for NASA. After walking through the deep loss in my family, my path changed in ways I never expected. And yes, standing here now, getting to be a small part of something so historic, I’m just overwhelmed by God’s goodness. He writes stories so far greater than we could ever imagine, and I’m so grateful to be living in His.”

Anne joined season five of On the Record and talked about losing her brother and having aspirations to be an astronaut. Watch here.
