Reid Wiseman said in a press conference that it is likely that his spatial ship will fly out of the month that were never mapped by previous Apollo missions.
On Tuesday, NASA announced that he hopes to be able to launch the first mission with human crew per month for the last 50 years since February 2026, according to the BBC.
Christina Koch’s mission specialist explained that astronauts will be able to study the monthly surface in detail for three hours.
“Believe it or not, human eyes are one of the best scientific tools we have.”
she said.
“Our geologists are extremely excited to be able to look at the moon, and we trained to turn these observations into answers to some of the biggest questions of our time, questions such as” Are we alone? “. We can answer this question by going to Mars in the future, and this mission can be the first step in bringing this answer to the team of humanity. ”
The Artemi II mission is the second launch of the Artemis program, whose purpose is to send astronauts on the Moon and, finally, establish a long -term presence on the monthly surface.
Commander Reid told reporters the name that the crew at the spacecraft and the reason they chose.
“Peace and hope for the whole of humanity, this is what we really want. We bring together the world, and when we compress it, magic is created. So we will fly around the Moon with the” integrity “spacecraft.
All four astronauts said they were inspired by the Apollo missions on the Moon from the 1960s and the early 1970s.
Who are the four crew members:
Christina Koch decided to become an astronaut after seeing a photo of the Earth taken by Bill Anders, a member of the Apollo 8 mission crew. For her, the Artemis II flight is literally a dream, because, like Apollo 8, it will fly around the month to help prepare the land for a land.
For Jeremy Hansen it will be the first time he will reach space. He said that this was also inspired by the astronauts on Apollo 8. At that time, the world was torn by wars and conflicts.
Those who knew Victor Glover say that he is the most charismatic member of the quartet and the best dressed, with brown designer leather boots that make him look good even in an orange flying suit.
Reid Wiseman brings back in memory and Apollo missions of 1960, when he says he hopes that the Artemis II mission will be looked into retrospect as A “little step towards sending people to Mars and a sustained presence on the Moon.”
