CitizenVectron Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 The crew for the Artemis II mission has been announced. This mission will be the first to return humans to the lunar system since 1972. Similar to Apollo 8, this mission will only orbit the moon in order to test the new systems. The crew: Mission Commander: Ried Wiseman (front) Mission Pilot: Victor Glover (back) Mission Specialist: Chistina Koch (left) Mission Specialist: Jeremy Hansen (right) https://www.nasa.gov/artemis-ii 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 This is going to be so fucking cool. Also, Hansen looks like Buzz Lightyear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 It's about damn time. Watching For All Mankind has not helped how annoyed how little progress in the decades since that we've made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, looking forward to buying this mission patch when it happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the lander (Starship) has to meet the astronauts in lunar orbit for the Artemis 3 mission in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
