NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) announced the four astronauts who will venture around the Moon on Artemis II, the first crewed mission on NASA’s path to establishing a long-term presence at the Moon for science and exploration through Artemis.
The flight, set to build upon the successful uncrewed Artemis I mission completed in December, will set the stage for the first woman and first person of color on the Moon through the Artemis program, paving the way for future for long-term human exploration missions to the Moon, and eventually Mars. This is the agency’s Moon to Mars exploration approach.
China pls do something.
This is great, space exploration is of the few good things that the US does with its money.
Is it really going to be exploration or more performative symbolic dabbing?

Disclaimer: I'd be more happy about this if it really was about actual exploration and scientific inquiry without the new cold war veneer and inevitable :porky-happy: characteristics.
I don't care, more US flags on foreign soil is something I don't want no matter where it is
