A ticker-tape parade down Broadway honoring the Artemis II crew may not be light-years away after all — provided NASA picks up the tab. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said this week that his administration is reviewing the feasibility of celebrating the heroic astronauts’ feat of traveling farther into space than any other humans. “When it comes to the Artemis II ticker-tape parade, that is something we have brought back to [my City Hall] team and are looking into the logistics of what that will require,” Mamdani told 1010 WINS, when asked about City Council leaders’ demand that NYC celebrate the crew’s achievements.
