Three men and a woman are to fly around the moon

The US space agency Nasa has named four people who are to fly around the moon on the “Artemis 2” mission next year: Nasa astronaut Christina Koch, her colleagues Victor Glover and Reid Wiseman and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen. They would be the first people to be near the moon since the astronauts of the last “Apollo” mission set foot on our moon in 1972, as NASA announced on Monday when the participants were announced.
