NASA Moon Rocket
Cape Canaveral, USA
NASA’s giant new moon rocket that is set to take astronauts on a first lunar fly-around in more than half a century is to blast off in April.
Reid Wiseman, the crew commander, pilot Victor Glover and Christina Koch — longtime NASA astronauts with spaceflight experience — will be joined on the 10-day mission by Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, a former fighter pilot awaiting his first rocket ride.
They will be the first people to fly to the moon since Apollo 17’s Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt closed out the triumphant lunar-landing program in 1972. Twelve astronauts strolled the lunar surface, beginning with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969.
