.NASA astronauts assigned to the Artemis II mission underestimated the significance of the meeting that named them part of the mission, with two showing up late and another even planning to skip the meeting.
NASA, along with the Canadian Space Agency, announced on Monday that NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Hammock Koch and CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen are the four people selected for the mission that is set to be the first manned mission around the moon in more than 50 years.Koch and Glover were reportedly late to the meeting.
“I was late. Very late,” she said of her last-minute drive across town to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. “I realized when I got to the room that it was a bigger meeting than I realized.”Wiseman hadn’t planned on attending the meeting after seeing that the meeting was listed as an update on a troubled Russian spacecraft. He was at a doctor’s appointment.
