“””The four include a woman and a person of color,”””

I hope among the four there are at least some with a lot of pilot experience.

One never knows when the computer system onboard or on earth goes haywire.

How in the hell, in 2023, are TWO white guys on this group?!?!?

“Christina Hammock Koch”

Uh oh......2 last names.....shows lack of commitment.......get in trouble during a spacewalk and she may help you......then again maybe she won’t.

I’m just happy we’re flying back to the moon for the first time since 1972? Just ignoring the lefty stuff (I’m sure they’re all superbly qualified) and enjoying the accomplishment.

Not in this day and age.............................

In 2025, the Artemis III mission will land the four astronauts on the moon's surface in what will also be a historic first for women and minorities.

I have to think that this engineer and (black) pilot are tired of constantly being called tokens.

One of them MUST be gay!....................

Tell us you hate the Moon without telling us you hate the Moon.

“weight and balance limits exceeded”

Not to mention 11 on the fugly meter.

>> They could have sent KJP, checked off three boxes and left her in lunar orbit.

ROFL! If only.

I’m looking forward to the day when all permutations of humans have been considered and every damn thing is not some “First _____ to ever do this or that”.

It seems like they keep coming up with variant after variant ad nauseum

“Send Whoopie Goldberg”

Can’t store enough fuel on a vehicle yet to get her out of Earth’s gravity well.

[teeman8r]

they couldn’t find an African American, so they had to go with an African Canadian...

and by whose definition is that a woman?

my guess is the top guy, wiseman, really, just because he’s white they call him wiseman... he will come out as gay when they land, or first gay kiss on the moon...

[A strike]

What,! no transfreak ?!
How evil white male nationalist of them !

-fJRoberts-

[Pollard]

Are there any white people with the surname of Glover?

[shotgun]

That’s a good question if you look at her right hand/wrist,

[Ezekiel]

This is way better news than I expected!

Who's going to be in command:

Reid Wiseman (seated)

(Work smart, not hard.)

Captain, U.S. Navy

notice the pecking order in the photograph.

Only one I can’t verify is married is the canuk
