Artemis Three Crew Revealed

NASA’s Artemis Three crew just launched — a stellar mix of space veterans and rookies headed for low-Earth orbit to test lunar landing tech. Commander Randy Bresnik, pilot Luca Parmitano (representing ESA), and specialists Frank Rubio (holder of America’s longest single spaceflight record) and rookie Andre Douglas are aboard. Parmitano honored his country and family, while Douglas thrilled at his first flight. A setback loomed when Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket exploded, but the company insists it’ll be ready for Artemis Three by 2027. The mission is vital for proving docking, life support, and other systems — with the Space Launch System rocket on track for assembly later this summer and a full fuel test by year’s end.
