The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has embarked on a historic return to the moon with the Artemis II crew. The four-person team, currently in orbit, are the first humans to venture near the lunar surface in over half a century.

The crew consists of four astronauts undertaking the 10-day lunar trip: Reid Wiseman, the Commander of the Artemis II mission; Victor Glover, the Pilot of the Orion spacecraft and the first person of colour to journey into deep space; Christina Koch, Mission Specialist 1 and the first woman assigned to a lunar mission; and the Canadian Space Agency's Jeremy Hansen, Mission Specialist 2 and the first Canadian on a lunar mission.
