NASA astronaut Christina Koch is set to become the first woman to travel around the Moon as part of the Artemis II mission.
She already holds the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman at 328 days… and now she’s part of the team aiming to take humans back to deep space for the first time in over 50 years.
If the mission goes as planned, Artemis II will mark the first crewed journey around the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972.
