Remember, their first job is staying alive.

If they don't do that, then all these dreams are pushed even farther into the future.

Yes, the commander is Reid Weissman.

He's a former fighter pilot in the U.S.

Navy.

He served in the Middle East on two deployments.

And he was the head of the astronaut office before he stepped down, which allowed him to be assigned to the moon mission.

And there's also a point in detail about him.

His wife died a few years ago.

Him going to moon means leaving his daughters behind for 10 days.

Well.

He was the first Black man to serve and extend his stay on the space station.

And now he'll be the first Black man to go to the moon.

Next is Christina Koch.

She's an electrical engineer by training.

And she actually worked on NASA missions on the ground before she was selected by NASA to become an astronaut.

And she now holds the record for the longest single space flight by a woman of 328 days.

So that's almost a full year.

And finally, there's Jeremy Hansen.

He's the Canadian on the crew.
