Christina Koch: The first woman to the moon

Aged 44, Christina Koch was chosen from a group of 16 women, as the first woman who is to travel to the moon accompanied by three men. Her full name is Christina Hammock Koch and known as a married and childless lady. She was chosen among the active 40 members of the astronaut corps of the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to participate in Artemis II, the manned mission to the moon.

 

Christina Koch is supposed to travel with three soldiers including two Americans and one black person. Neither Koch nor any of the other astronauts are permitted to set foot on the lunar but they will have to content themselves with observing it through the screens of their Orion capsule, launched into space by the powerful SLS launcher.
