The Moon mission’s latest triumph has been followed by a potential new setback

One step forward for Artemis...

NASA's Artemis programme has taken a giant leap forward, but also a small step back on its journey towards setting the first woman and first person of colour on the Moon's surface in the next few years.

On 3 April, NASA announced the four crew members who would take part in the Artemis II mission, which is currently scheduled for 2024. The crew will consist of veteran NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, the latter of whom has already made history by taking part in the first all-female spacewalk alongside Jessica Meir. They will be joined by first-time astronaut Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency.
