The Artemis II crewwill throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the July 4 Nats game, per a release shared with Axios.
Why it matters: The four astronauts just crewed the first lunar flyby in over 50 years, and now they're blasting off to their most harrowing destination yet: Navy Yard.
State of play: The Nats will face off against the Pittsburgh Pirates at 11:05am on America's birthday.
What we're watching: We're not quite sure how four people can simultaneously pitch one ball ... but if anyone can figure it out, it's a bunch of people who learned how to pee in zero-G.
