Yes, Artemis I will travel for roughly 40 days, reaching 40,000 miles above the moon, but astronaut Jessica Meir shared several other reasons why this mission is historic.
NASA announced its next attempt to launch space capsule Artemis I will be on Saturday, and ABC13's Brhe Berry got to chat with astronaut Jessica Meir about the process and its significance.
She explained this launch on Saturday is the final step in testing. While there will be no crew members onboard this launch, Meir said the next one will. "We are not just preparing to go to the moon, we are going. We're ready to go," Meir said with a smile on her face."We have a much more diverse workforce this time. It's one of the goals of the Artemis mission to land the first woman and the first person of color on the moon. That is very exciting to me. It means that we will all really be represented as we explore together," Meir said.
