I have literally been waiting for the first crewed Orion mission for 21 years

@winter where do those go
@fiore the MOON :Moon2258LastQuarter: Translunar Space
@fiore now with: GIRLS
@winter aetherglow moment ..
@fiore (only one per mission though )
@fiore but a Girl is finally going to translunar space, as g-ddess intended
@fiore Christina Koch is gonna be in history books alongside Valentina Tereshkova and Sally Ride, well maybe not as important in the eyes of history as whatever girl will make the first girl Moon landing but at least as much as the Apollo 8 crew
@fiore what a legendary astronaut, this is only her second spaceflight and it’s a Lunar mission, the first ever by a girl, and her first mission was 328 days in space, part of it with her Very Good Friend astronaut Jessica Meir (who is Tragically not on Artemis II but is in space currently on the International Space Station, they will be in space together a second time but on different spacecraft in different spheres of influence ) who she did the first all Girl spacewalk with, Expedition 61 there has not been such a good ISS Expedition before or since, and Christina went back to her home planet before Jessica because her mission started sooner, but then she had time to recover from spaceflight and go see Jessica as soon as she got back, they’re just very good friends and so heterosexual for each other  I hope I have convinced you of my OTP
@fiore Jessica deserves a Lunar landing mission but really Anne McClain should get the first one small step for a girl, being the only out lesbian astronaut in the world today and on Artemis crew rotation
@fiore but Jessica Meir would also be the first Jew on the Moon and it’s about damn time really
@winter oh you have . oh my oh my
