First woman to orbit the moon next year

Nasa astronaut Christina Hammock Koch — a flight engineer on the International Space Station and record-holder for the longest single spaceflight by a female — will become the first woman to orbit the moon next year when the space agency launches its Artemis II mission.

A crew of four astronauts from the United States and Canada will journey around the moon. Koch, who was assigned mission specialist, will be joined by Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen and Nasa astronauts G. Reid Wiseman and Victor J. Glover Jr., who will become the first person of colour to orbit the moon.

Another unnamed crew is expected to land on the moon in 2025.

The current owners aren’t all that familiar, and have never been sure how to handle the fan mail that comes in.
