Nasa names first woman and black man on Moon mission.
NASA on Monday announced the crew of Artemis II, four astronauts who will head to the moon within the next two years. The crew will travel around the moon and back on a 10-day mission.
The crew of three Americans and one Canadian will be the first humans to fly toward the moon in more than 50 years. They are: Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Reid Wiseman of NASA, and Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency. Glover, the first Black man assigned as a crew member on the International Space Station, will serve as the mission's pilot. Koch, who holds the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman, will serve as a mission specialist. Wiseman, who served as NASA's chief astronaut, will be the commander. Hansen, one of four active Canadian astronauts, will also serve as a mission specialist
