NASA will have a black man and woman on a mission to the moon for the first time

The space agency has called the crew of the Artemis 2 program

The United States space agency, NASA, announced last Monday (3) the names of the astronauts who will travel to the Moon in 2024 in the Artemis 2 mission.

NASA has called for the first time a black man (Victor Glover) and a woman (Christina Koch) to participate in a lunar mission. The other two crew members are Reid Wiseman and Jeremy Hansen.

The program will be extremely important, as the last time humanity was this close to the Moon was in 1972, through the famous Apollo mission.

Apparently, the journey should last at least 10 days and will aim to reach the hidden side of the satellite. Astronauts are not expected to land on the moon.

Three of the four crew members chosen for Artemis 2 are experienced and have already been on other expeditions. The only rookie is Canadian Hansen. .
