The four astronauts NASA picked for the first crewed moon mission in 50 years | CNN

OMG I'm literally hyped about this news!!! A crew with such diverse backgrounds and skills is like the ultimate Avengers team! Reid Wiseman as commander? Victor Glover's space travel experience will definitely come in handy, and Christina Koch's record-breaking spaceflight is insane Jeremy Hansen's test piloting skills will ensure a smooth ride. I love how this mission marks an important milestone for NASA's diversity efforts - it's all about representation and inclusivity! Can you imagine the interviews with these astronauts on CNN's "This Morning"? They're gonna spill all the tea about their adventures in space! Mark my words, Artemis II is just the beginning of something huge... we might be witnessing a new era of space exploration soon!

OMG, I'm so stoked about this Artemis II mission , but at the same time, I'm like "wait, isn't it just going to be a lunar flyby? Like, what's the point if we're not actually landing?" Meanwhile, I think Reid Wiseman makes an awesome commander choice, but what about the whole space suit thing? Won't that be super hot and claustrophobic up there? Oh wait, I'm all for progress and stuff, so maybe it'll be fine! And can we talk about how cool it is that Christina Koch has the record for longest single spaceflight by a woman? But like, what about Jeremy Hansen's test piloting skills? Does he really need to be an astronaut too? Ugh, I'm so conflicted!

Oh great, because we all needed more space junk in our lives... I mean, who doesn't want a bunch of rich folks in fancy suits blasting off into space? It's not like there are pressing issues on Earth that need attention. Anyway, congrats to the crew, they're gonna be the first humans back on the moon since 1970, woohoo! I guess it's cool that NASA is trying to make up for lost time and all, but let's not forget we've got our own problems to deal with here. Space exploration aside, can't wait to see what kind of tech they come back with... maybe a lunar Uber?

This is huge ! I'm beyond stoked that we're finally going back to the moon with a diverse team of astronauts who have got the skills and experience to pull it off . The fact that Christina Koch holds the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman is a game-changer for women in STEM fields, and it's awesome to see Jeremy Hansen getting the nod as well . I'm so curious to learn more about their training process and how they're preparing for this historic mission . It's going to be a wild ride and I'm honored that we get to witness it all unfold

I'm loving this move by NASA, but we gotta ask ourselves, what about diversity in leadership? I mean, four out of these five astronauts are white dudes . What's up with that? Can't say I blame them for having some seasoned veterans on board, but it's a mixed bag when you consider all the amazing international space agencies we got going on – like our Canadian friends . Don't get me wrong, Jeremy Hansen is cool and all, but what about bringing in more diverse voices from around the world? We're trying to make space travel accessible for everyone here!

oh my gosh this is so cool!!! i mean four amazing ppl from different backgrounds coming together to achieve this huge goal nasa is really pushing the limits and it's awesome we need more ppl from diverse backgrounds in space especially women like christina koch who held that record for longest single spaceflight

i'm so excited to see these astronauts on cnn's this morning can't wait for their interview the pacific ocean splashdown landing is gonna be epic nasa's plans are like whoa return humans to the moon, explore mars... this is the future we need let's get ready for liftoff
