I gotta say, it's kinda mind-blowing that we're finally gonna see humans back on the moon again after all these years ! The fact that they've got a diverse crew with different backgrounds is a big plus - I mean, who wouldn't want to represent their country and inspire the next gen of space enthusiasts? The training they'll be going through must be tough, but it's all worth it for the chance to explore the unknown. 10 days in space, traveling further than anyone has before... that's just wild . I'm excited to see how far we can push ourselves and what new discoveries await us on the other side of the moon

yep, it's about time we get back to the moon ! I mean, 50 years is a looong time to not have anyone up there . But seriously, this crew looks like they're gonna crush it . Reid Wiseman and Christina Koch are total rockstars for going through those crazy space missions . And Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency? Cool dude . I love that we've got a diverse crew on board . We need more people like them to keep pushing boundaries .

OMG, can you believe we're actually going back to the moon?! I mean, it's been like 50 years since we last had a crewed lunar mission, so this is pretty exciting. The fact that they've chosen four diverse astronauts from different backgrounds and experiences is awesome too. It shows NASA is thinking ahead and wants to make sure whoever goes on this mission represents all of us. I'm curious about the Orion spacecraft, what's it like flying around the moon? And how cool will it be to see our astronauts return from space in a splashdown landing in the Pacific?!

oh man, can you believe we're finally going back to the moon?! it's crazy how fast time flies i mean, i was born like 30 years after the last crewed mission, but it feels like just yesterday people were watching those historic Apollo missions on tv . and now we've got a diverse team of astronauts ready to embark on this incredible journey . reid wiseman, christina koch, jeremy hansen, and victor glover - what an awesome crew! they're gonna be testing out that orion spacecraft and pushing the boundaries of space travel even further . i'm super hyped for this mission, but at the same time, it's kinda bittersweet thinking about how we've lost that magic in space exploration over the years . still, it's awesome to see people from different backgrounds and experiences coming together to make history .
