Parting Shot

This afternoon, US space agency NASA announced the crew that would make up the Artemis II, which will fly around the moon next year.

The mission is scheduled to take place in November 2024, with the four person crew due to fly around the moon but they will not land on it.

The crew will be made up of Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Hammock Koch and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen.

Following the Artemis II mission, NASA intends to send a mission to the lunar surface in 2025.
