This April, four astronauts will be the first people to travel around the Moon since the 1970s. They are the Artemis mission team. The flight is called Artemis II, and after some delays, it will blast off on a 10-day test mission around the Moon and back again. The astronauts will travel in Orion, NASA's deep-space capsule that sits on top of the rocket. The crew will travel further from Earth than any humans before them. The team includes mission captain Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen. Each of them has a unique background and will make history in their own way.
