On this episode, we share our first thoughts after the Artemis 2 crew has been selected! x3 NASA Astronauts and x1 Canadian Space Agency Astronaut. These four individuals will orbit the moon with the Orion Spacecraft and test all the human rated systems and prepare for Artemis 3 where the first person of color and first woman will step foot on the Moon. We also breakdown what the Artemis Program is and what kinds of technology are needed to bring us to the Moon, and eventually to Mars (so a great episode if you are just catching up on what NASA is doing!)

Big Quesions/Thoughts for this episode:

• How will this crew of four change the future for Humanity as we return to the Moon to stay, and work our way to Mars?
• Who chose these Astronauts for Artemis 2? What was their thought process?
• Does NASA have a "marketing" or message problem?
• Does NASA appear more unified in its goal than it has been in the last decade?
• Who are my favorite Astronauts in the Artemis Team?
• Who are my picks for Artemis 3 moon landing?

We also share our first thoughts on this momentus occassion and the beginning of a new era in Human Spaceflight!
