Nasa names next astronauts for Artemis Moon programme

NASA has announced the next crew for its Artemis program, although they won't be landing on the Moon. Instead, these astronauts will be conducting deep space missions, likely to the Gateway, a lunar orbiting station planned to support future lunar exploration. This marks a significant step in NASA's goal to establish a sustainable human presence on and around the Moon, which could pave the way for future missions to Mars and beyond. The selection underscores the agency's commitment to expanding human spaceflight capabilities.
