After Artemis\u2019s experience on the moon, NASA hopes to chart a path to putting humans on Mars, while scientists expect to use what is found there to answer questions about how the solar system formed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Astronauts in 2023 are much different from those when the United States was in a race to beat the Soviet Union to the moon. During the Apollo program, 24 astronauts flew to the moon, and 12 of them stepped on the surface. All of them were Americans. All of them were white men, many of whom were test pilots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They are Reid Wiseman, the mission\u2019s commander; Victor Glover, the pilot; Christina Koch, mission specialist; and, Jeremy Hansen, also a mission specialist. The first three are NASA astronauts, while Mr. Hansen is a member of the Canadian Space Agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhen we were selecting astronauts back then,\u201d Mr. Glover said in an interview, \u201cwe intended to select the same person, just multiple copies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Koch will be the first woman to venture beyond low-Earth orbit, and Mr. Hansen, as a Canadian, the first non-American to travel that far.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Hansen noted that the United States could have undertaken the Artemis missions by itself but instead chose to pull together an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/04\/03\/science\/artemis-ii-moon-canada.html\">international collaboration with Canada<\/a> and the European Space Agency. That agreement reserved a seat for a Canadian astronaut on Artemis II. \u201cAll of Canada is grateful for that global mind-set and that leadership,\u201d Mr. Hansen said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASA Names Artemis II Crew for Mission to Fly by Moon in 2024 &nbsp; Astronauts are expected to travel 6,400 miles beyond the moon\u2019s far side before speeding back to Earth NYTIMES: \u00a0Science April 3, 2023 Humans have not ventured &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/ignasv\/2023\/04\/03\/canadians-are-back-in-space-jeremy-hansen-is-part-of-the-four-person-artemis-ii-mission\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":519,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/ignasv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9233"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/ignasv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/ignasv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/ignasv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/519"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/ignasv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9233"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/ignasv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9235,"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/ignasv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9233\/revisions\/9235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/ignasv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/ignasv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/ignasv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
