CNET News reported that when NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine “addressed engineering students at the University of Colorado Boulder on Friday,” a student asked via livestream “near the end of the Q&A if NASA had considered sending an all-female crew for the Artemis mission.” Bridenstine answered, “Have we considered it? Yes, and it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s what we did.” Bridenstine also “said the crew hasn’t yet been picked and emphasized that he’d been told that the next man and the first woman on the moon will happen within five years and that they’ll be Americans.” Bridenstine explained, “We could have a crew of two women going to the moon within five years.” (Image: Artemis Moon Program | NASA)
