For the first time in half a century, four human beings have been chosen to travel beyond the moon — a threshold no person has crossed since the final Apollo missions of the early 1970s. NASA's selection of Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canada's Jeremy Hansen for the Artemis II lunar flyby reflects not only a return to deep space, but a reimagining of who belongs there. Scheduled to launch in November 2024, their ten-day journey aboard the Orion capsule is less an endpoint than a passage — one designed to carry humanity toward a permanent lunar presence and, eventually, Mars
