Meet the history-making Nasa astronauts headed for the Moon next year
Meet the history-making astronauts preparing for a moon mission, aiming to explore uncharted lunar territories and potentially answer humanity's biggest questions. Led by Commander Reid Wiseman, the crew includes trailblazers like Christina Koch, set to be the first woman on the moon, and Victor, the first black person set to visit the moon. Inspired by past Apollo missions, this Artemis II project is part of NASA's goal to establish a long-term human presence on the moon, with hopes of launching by February 2026. These astronauts, driven by a spirit of exploration and unity, are gearing up for a journey that may pave the way for future Mars missions.
