The upcoming Artemis II mission will send astronauts to the moon for the first time in more than 50 years. Four astronauts, including the first woman and first black astronaut, are set to blast off to the moon as early as Wednesday this week. Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman insists the mission will be a true group effort. “We have the best crew that you could put together from NASA and the Canadian Space Agency,” he said.
