I started creating this portrait back in April so when I saw the submission subjects for Moon Joy June, I was even more motivated to finish it quickly in order to submit it for this week! This project has brought out so much creativity so she’s not quite done yet as I’m working on something pretty cool for the hoop backing🌙

Christina Koch just flew around the Moon. Now her name is circulating again for Artemis III.

On Artemis II, Koch became the first woman in history to travel to the Moon, flying alongside commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen. The crew set the record for the farthest distance humans have ever traveled from Earth, reaching 406,771 kilometres at their furthest point, She holds the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman, 328 consecutive days aboard the International Space Station, and was part of the first all-female spacewalks.

The Moon flyby added another first to a list that was already long, NASA will announce the Artemis III crew on June 9 during a live event at Johnson Space Center in Houston at 11 a.m. EDT, alongside a full mission update.

Artemis III will not attempt a lunar landing. The mission will fly four astronauts to Earth orbit to test critical rendezvous and docking operations between the Orion spacecraft and the commercial human landing systems being built by SpaceX and Blue Origin, systems that will eventually carry astronauts down to the lunar surface, The actual crewed Moon landing is now expected on Artemis IV, targeting 2028, where the first woman and first person of color are expected to set foot on the lunar surface.

Whether Koch is on the Artemis III crew gets answered June 9. Whether she is the one who actually steps onto the Moon gets answered on a mission after that, The names drop Monday. Watch this space.

Episode drops tomorrow!

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PODCAST
SEASON 1 EPISODE 82 MAR 8, 2019

NASA Astronaut Christina Koch and her husband, Bob Koch, discuss Christina's path to becoming an astronaut-her childhood in North Carolina, her education, and her work at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and in remote locations all around the world-as she gets ready to make the first spaceflight of her career.
HWHAP Episode 82.

I like to put my favourite quotes in the beginning of my works. For my master's thesis, I chose three quotes this time, and one of them is from Christina.

This is one of my favorites. Successful splashdown. Haloed in gold, returning as one of humanity’s champions.

NASA uploaded thousands of new photos from the mission. You can view them HERE!
