Artemis 2: Profiler af de fire astronauter på månemissionen

Artemis 2-mandskabet—NASA-astronauterne Christina Koch, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover og canadiske Jeremy Hansen—blev for nylig sendt op i Orion-rumfartøjet på en 10-dages mission rundt om Månen, hvilket er menneskehedens første månerejse med astronauter i over 50 år.

Kommandør Reid Wiseman (født 1975 i Maryland), en 50-årig tidligere testpilot fra flåden og ISS-veteran, leder missionen. Han er far til to døtre; hans hustru gik bort i 2020. Christina Koch (født 1979 i Michigan) er den første kvinde på en NASA-månemission. Hun har rekorden for den længste enkelte rumflyvning foretaget af en kvinde (328 dage) og bor i Texas med sin mand. Victor Glover (født 1976 i Californien) er den første sorte person, der er udpeget til en månemission, og han har fire døtre. Jeremy Hansen (født 1976 i Ontario) markerer Canadas første astronaut på en månemission, efter at have ventet mere end 15 år på muligheden for at komme i rummet. Mandskabet er blevet varmt rost af de tyske astronauter Alexander Gerst og Matthias Maurer. "Jeg kender dem alle godt. Det er et super mandskab," fortalte Gerst til Deutsche Presse-Agentur. Da han har arbejdet sammen med Wiseman på ISS, beskrev han ham som en "rigtig god fyr." Maurer kaldte holdet for "fantastisk" og en "lille familie", idet han bemærkede, at han har kendt Glover siden deres studietid og udtrykte glæde på Hansens vegne.
