Meet the Artemis crew in NASA’s first astronaut mission to the moon in more than a half-century.
From @AssociatedPress: "This first Artemis crew includes a woman, a person of color and a Canadian, products of a more diversified astronaut corps."
The four astronauts making NASA's next lunar leap bear little resemblance to the Apollo era. The Americans who blazed the trail to the moon more than half a century ago were white men chosen for their military test pilot experience. The Artemis crew includes a woman, a person of color and a Canadian. None of them were alive during NASA's Apollo program that sent 24 astronauts to the moon. They won't land on the moon this time or even orbit it. But the out-and-back journey will take them thousands of miles farther from Earth than the Apollo astronauts ventured.
Excited about the #Artemis2 launch, #NASA has a cool page about the launch details and times here:

Sick astronaut update. I’m no expert but maybe migraine or FND could possibly explain the one symptom that was disclosed.

The astronaut who prompted NASA's first medical evacuation earlier this year says doctors still don't know why he suddenly fell sick at the International Space Station. Four-time space flier Mike Fincke said in an interview with The Associated Press on Friday that he was eating dinner after prepping for a spacewalk the next day when he went into distress. He couldn't talk and remembers no pain. The medical episode lasted 20 minutes and he felt fine afterward. The 59-year-old Fincke says doctors have ruled out a heart attack, he wasn’t choking, but everything else is on the table and could be related to his 549 days of weightlessness.
