Christina Koch, the woman you are🤭

(Also wanted to include Rise 😽)

I want to point out that as much as I think she is a beautiful woman, I don't stop at her physical appearance. I am immensely impressed by her work and how much she is inspiring other women :)

Enjoy my quick sketch!! :D

And now the Artemis crew will be the furthest from earth and most isolated human beings for the next 40 minutes. Godspeed Artemis.

Artemis 2: the journey that returns humanity to the moon

For the first time in 50 years, four astronauts are expected to embark on a manned mission to the moon - surround it and return, without landing on it.

NASA's Artemis 2 mission, scheduled for February 2026, is not "another" flight — but a giant tool test ahead of the moment we will land a human foot on the moon again.

Over ten days the crew will test the powerful SLS launch system, built to take astronauts to the moon, and the Orion capsule, which will in the future carry humans to the moon — and possibly beyond.

The astronauts participating in the mission are Reed Weisman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch from NASA, and Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency.

As part of the mission, they will fly about 5,000 nautical miles (9,200 km) across the moon - farther than any human being in history.

This flight is not only measured in kilometers, but in faith in our ability to build, explore and dream big, one step at a time.

We will of course continue to follow from here in Israel, wish them a safe journey and good luck on their way to the moon.
