Meet the Artemis crew in NASA's first astronaut mission to the moon in more than a half-century
NASA's Artemis mission is set to send four astronauts to the moon, marking the first lunar trip since 1972. The crew includes a woman, a person of color, and a Canadian, and will pave the way for future moon landings.
NASA's Artemis mission is underway. The crew of four astronauts will travel to the moon and back. Commander Reid Wiseman, a retired Navy captain, leads the mission. Pilot Victor Glover, a Navy captain and former combat pilot, is one of NASA's few Black astronauts. Mission specialist Christina Koch, an electrical engineer, holds the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman. The crew will not land on the moon but will take an out-and-back journey, providing unprecedented views of the lunar far side.
