For the first time in more than half a century, humanity is preparing to send people beyond Earth's immediate neighborhood — and the four astronauts NASA named on April 3rd, 2023, carry with them not only the weight of that ambition but the visible marks of a changed world. Artemis 2, scheduled for December 2024, will carry commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian Jeremy Hansen on a ten-day arc around the Moon, testing the new SLS and Orion systems that must succeed before any crewed landing can follow. Where Apollo once reflected the narrow
