Show Notes
NASAs historic Artemis II mission, launching on Wednesday, will send four astronauts on a ten-day journey around the moon, marking the first crewed mission there in over fifty years. Led by Reid Wiseman, the diverse crew includes Christina Koch, the first woman to fly near the moon, Victor Glover, the first Black astronaut, and Jeremy Hansen, the first Canadian. The mission, a test run for future moon landings, will see Glover perform close maneuvers near rocket parts. The Artemis program aims to land humans on the moon by 2028 and establish a long-term base, with a $30 billion plan over a decade. The mission comes as NASA races against China, which plans to send astronauts to the moon by the end of the decade.
