Btw Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch is the youngest at 47yo with the most clocked time in space of the other crew, having set a record for the longest time in space in one mission for a female at 328 days. And is the first female on a lunar mission. As a biologist and engineer she dabbles in inventing tools, and has been awarded an honorary doctorate from her home state university.
Victor is 49yo and the first black man on a lunar mission. Overcoming systemic barriers, victor has obtained 3 masters degrees and 1 bachelor, along with flying over 40 aircraft in combat and peaceful missions.
Jeremy is 50yo and the first Canadian from the Canadian Space Agency on a lunar mission, and this is his first mission in space.

It is never too late to start and you can always overcome barriers.
Shoot for the moon and you’ll land in the stars, or in their case, fly past it💫
