“The #ArtemisII crew represents thousands of people working tirelessly to bring us to the stars. This is their crew, this is our crew, this is humanity's crew,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “#NASA #astronauts #ReidWiseman, #VictorGlover, and #ChristinaHammockKoch, and #CSA astronaut #JeremyHansen, each has their own story, but, together, they represent our creed: E pluribus unum – out of many, one. Together, we are ushering in a new era of exploration for a new generation of star sailors and dreamers – the #Artemis Generation.”
