NASA Unveils New Astronaut Trainees for Moon Missions.
NASA has unveiled its latest successful astronaut candidates, some of whom could be heading to the moon — and even Mars — in the coming years as part of the space agency’s Artemis program.
The six men and four women (below) underwent a rigorous selection process that saw them go up against around 12,000 other applicants.
The successful astronaut candidates were introduced by NASA chief Bill Nelson at a special event at Ellington Field near NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston on Monday, December 6.

“Today we welcome 10 new explorers, 10 members of the Artemis generation, NASA’s 2021 astronaut candidate class,” Nelson said.
“Alone, each candidate has ‘the right stuff,’ but together they represent the creed of our country: E pluribus unum — out of many, one.”

The astronaut candidates — the first to be announced since 2017 — now face two years of challenging training, which will start at the Johnson Space Center in January 2022.
