Space pioneers are ready to go to the moon “for the Humanity Association”

The leader of the NASA mission coming to the moon said that he and his crew “see unprecedented things.”

Reed Weizmann told a press conference that his spacecraft is likely to fly over large areas of the moon that the previous Apollo tasks have never been drawn.

Yesterday, NASA announced that she hopes that she can be able to do so Launch the first moon mission specified in 50 years early February 2026.

The mission specialist, Christina Koch, explained that astronauts will be able to study the moon’s surface with great details for three hours.

“Believe it or not, the human eyes are one of the best scientific tools that we have,” she said.

“Our geologists are excited to look to the moon, and we have trained how to turn these observations to answer some of the biggest questions of our time, questions like“ Are we alone? “We can answer this by going to Mars in the future, and this task can be the first step in returning this answer to Team Humanity.”

The ARTEMIS II mission is the second launch of the Artemis program, which aims to decline in astronauts and create a long -term presence on the moon.

Commander Reed told reporters that the name of the crew he gave to their space vehicle and why they chose it.

“Peace and hope for all human, this is what we really want. We collect the world, and when you press everything, it will create magic. So we will fly around the moon in” integrity “.

All four astronauts said that they were inspired by the Apollo Moon missions in the 1960s and early 1970s.

Christina Koch decided to become an astronaut after seeing a picture of the Earth taken by Bill Anders, a crew member of the Apollo 8 mission in 1968. For her, Artemis II’s second journey is literally a dream come true because, like Apollo 8, will fly around the moon to help the road to the moon’s landing.

Although Christina was born 11 years after taking the photo, she kept a sticker on the surface of the moon. Just as this moment inspired a generation living during the 1960s, she said in an interview with NASA that she hopes that her mission would be able to live in despite what they lived in, and as he did at that time, the world makes a more optimistic place.

She said: “The fact that it was a person behind that lens that made that image more deep and change the way we thought about our house.”

“The moon was not just a symbol of thinking about our place in the universe. It is a beacon of science and understanding where we came from.”

Christina was an engineer who became an astronaut in 2013. She lived and worked at the International Space Station almost 2019, spent a total of 328 consecutive days in space and participated in the first female space. Its hobbies include surfing, rock and ice climbing, programming, community service, trilogy, yoga, backpacks, wooden works, photography and travel.

Christina is scheduled to be the first woman to go to the moon.

This will be the first time that Jeremy Hansen was in space. He was also inspired by astronauts in APollo 8. At that time, the world was exploding with wars and conflict.

“When they flew around the moon just before Christmas in 1968, there was a lot in the world, and people realized that it was a really difficult time. People were struggling in several different ways and I think we could echo with that day.

“And I remember that I read about a postcard that Bill Anders got when he returned, simply, all that he wrote was,” I was saved in 1968. “

Thanks to the square jaw that resembles Lightyear and its clean appearance, it coincides with a typical heroic astronaut. As a Canadian, it is scheduled to become the first non -American to go to the moon.

His message is one of the unity and inspiration not only for the United States, but the whole world.

“Artemis tasks have set an ambitious goal for humanity that inspire contributions from all over the world, and not only one nation inspired by this, but countries around the world meet together.”

Jeremy was a fighter, physicist and Aquanault pilot before joining the Canadian Space Agency in 2009. During his time with CSA, he became the first Canadian to train the astronaut at the NASA Johnson Space Center. He is married and has three children and enjoys sailing, climbing rocks and riding mountain bicycles.

Those who met Victor says he is the most attractive in the Quartet and the most wearing sharp clothes, with brown leather shoes that make him look good even in an orange flying suit.

He says in an interview with NASA. It is part of being a person. “

Just as his colleagues are the crew, his words returned to the space of space, and the words of President John F. Kennedy in 1962: “We choose to go to the moon in this contract and do other things, not because it is easy, but because we are difficult, because we are dealing with this goal of organizing and measuring our best energies and skills, because this challenge is one ready to accept.

“In our nature, we go out to explore, let’s learn where we are, why we understand the big questions about our place in the universe,” Victor says.

The Victor Call sign is IKE, which was short in “I know everything”, recognized by the three -master degrees: in aviation test engineering, systems engineering, military operating art and science.

Victor Karaweeh was chosen in NASA in 2013. The position of NASA’s SPACEX Crew-1 mission to the International Space Station was previously held as part of Expeede 64.

He was born in Bomona, California, who is married and has four children.

Victor is scheduled to be the first black person to go to the moon.

Reed Weizmann also repeats Apollo Monch rituals, when he says he hopes that Artemis’s second mission will be seen as “a small step in humans on Mars and a constant presence on the moon.”

His words repeat the words of the other astronaut, Neil Armstrong, the first man to prolong the surface of the moon: “One small step for a man, one giant leap for humanity.”

Although Red is the mission leader, he is keen to include his crew.

“When I look at Victor, Crystina and Jeremy, they want to go to this mission, it is very driven, it is modest of the mistake. It is great to be around them.”

Red is a widow and despite a distinguished profession as an astronaut, he considers his time as a single parent as a “greater challenge and a rewarding stage” in his life.

In one of the very few interviews presented by Neil Armstrong at all, I asked him in 1996 whether the dream of humans who live and work on the surface of the moon and go to the other planets will ever return. His response was:

“The reality may fade, but the dream is still present, and it will return in time.”

He could have heard to hear these words from every crew of Artemis II.

Christina: “We are ready.”

Jeremy: “We are going.”

Victor: “To the Moon”.

Red: “For all humanity!”
