Artemis II Mission Patch

Artemis II is scheduled to launch in about an hour, with everything being reported as go for launch. If they take off, they’re gonna take a spin around the moon, in a repeat of the historic Apollo 8 mission 57 years ago last Christmas. This is the next step to once more walking on the moon. God, it’s good to be back!

Watch it live with me;

The last time humans traveled past Earth orbit was 1972, for the Apollo 17 mission. The Artemis II mission is staffed with;

Captain Reid Wiseman, USN
Captain Victor Glover, USN
Christian Koch (American)
Colonel Jeremy Hansen, RCAF

Koch will be the first woman to leave Earth orbit and travel around the moon. Glover will be the first black man to do the same. Hansen will be the first Canadian.
