The next person to walk the moon could be a woman. Nasa has announced that as part of its Artemis project, which aims to send new astronauts to the Moon in 2024, nine of the 18 people shortlisted are women, BFM-TVreports.
The project envisages the construction of an on-site base
On Wednesday, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence presented a list of 18 astronauts shortlisted for future missions. With the goal that in 2024, a man and a woman will tread the Earth's satellite.
Among the names unveiled are some seasoned astronauts, such as Stephanie Wilson, several spaceflight on the counter or the one who holds the record for time spent in space (for a woman), Christina Koch. But more novice astronauts are also part of the selection, such as Kayla Barron, who will fly out of our planet for the first time, points out our colleague from BFM-TV. This lunar landing project involves the construction of a base on the Moon. This flight to the Moon will be the first since 1972.
