So they had to send up a new craft to bring him home, which left him in space for 371 days, setting the American spaceflight record.
And then Andre Douglas is the rookie flying as the other mission specialist, but he was the backup crew to Artemis II.
So he's very, very familiar with this program.
You know, NASA was really vocal about sending, you know, the first woman and first person of color to the moon.
And that since has been scrubbed from, you know, all of the NASA websites, presumably with the Trump administration's crackdown on DEI.
Some of the people that I've talked to, they're just hoping that they're saving all the women for the next flight, which will take humans to the moon and have a woman on that ground team that gets there.
Boy, we don't know.
We have to find out what happens with Artemis III first, right?
Artemis IV is going to take humans to the surface of the moon.
It's the first time since the final Apollo mission in 1972.
But we don't know which lander is going to take them there, right?
So really, Artemis IV is reliant on the success and what NASA learns from Artemis III.
And that early junkyard that NASA wants to make, as Ken so eloquently put, it was reliant on a specific lunar lander from a commercial space company called Blue Origin, which is grounded at the moment as well.
So that certainly delays the start of that moon base.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
NASA's Randy Bresnik is commanding the mission, along with fellow astronauts Frank Rubio and Andre Douglas as mission specialists.
European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano will serve as mission pilot.
Their mission will test the Orion spacecraft's ability to dock with two lunar landers, designed by SpaceX and Blue Origin.
While the mission is staying in low Earth orbit, the future of NASA's lunar plans depend on the success of Artemis III.
