NASA will launch the Artemis II mission this year, sending four astronauts on an approximately 10-day journey around the Moon. The test flight will expand our presence in deep space, setting the stage for future lunar surface missions and gaining the knowledge we need to send humans to Mars.
Choosing a crew for missions to the Moon requires the right mix of skills and attributes. All four astronauts not only bring different strengths and expertise to the mission, but they also must work well together in high-pressure situations.
That’s why we want to know: who is YOUR #NASAMoonCrew? Tell us who you would choose to go with you on a trip around the Moon. Who is driving? Who is bringing the snacks? Who is making the Moon-trip playlist?
Share your photos, art, videos—anything depicting your crew—with the world! Do a photoshoot decked out in your favorite NASA gear. Write a song about what your favorite TV show characters would be like on the journey. Make a stop-motion animation of you and your besties flying around the Moon.
How to Show Us Your #NASAMoonCrew:
• Post your chosen crew members to your preferred social media platform
• Don’t forget to use the hashtag #NASAMoonCrew!
If your #NASAMoonCrew post catches our attention, we may share it on our NASA social media accounts or during Artemis II mission coverage. Terms and guidelines: nasa.gov/nasa-policies-and-guidelines-for-digital-and-social-media
