NASA just revealed the crew for Artemis III — Commander Randy Bresnik, mission specialists Frank Rubio and Andre Douglas, plus Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano — for a high-stakes Earth orbit test flight next year. This isn’t a moon landing, but a crucial two-week shakedown to perfect lunar lander docking procedures ahead of future missions. Building on Artemis II’s record-breaking lunar flyby, the mission aims to accelerate human return to the Moon by 2028, echoing Apollo’s pace. While Blue Origin faced a recent engine setback, NASA remains confident and has awarded major contracts to companies developing landers, rovers, and drones — all paving the way for a lunar base and eventual Mars missions. The astronauts themselves are thrilled — Bresnik called it humbling, Douglas said his heart was “so full.” This mission is the vital bridge between Earth and the Moon’s surface.
