I was excited for today…excited to cheer on the Agency and my friends as we named the Artemis III crew.
What I didn’t expect was the feeling of complete, unbridled happiness in my soul as @Astro_Jeremy (from afar), @Astro_Christina, @AstroVicGlover and I ceremonially handed our baton to the next crew.
We did it, and we did it well. @AstroKomrade, @astro_luca, Frank Rubio, @Astro_AndreD — you have the controls!! You will do it, and I know you will do it well. Godspeed, Artemis III
Congratulations to the newly announced crew for Artemis III! We are thrilled that these four distinguished astronauts will be “carrying the fire” for our next mission toward establishing a long-term human presence on the surface of the Moon.
