Here are the crew:

As for when the mission of Artemis IIthis will not be before November 2024, so it will take a little over a year for the crew to prepare for the trip. Something that should be mentioned is that they are not going to land on the satellite of the earth, but they will fly around it and then come back, it is more of a test.

Editor’s note: It is quite interesting that another of these trips is taking place after a long time, it is a pity that they will not be able to set foot on the lunar surface this time. However, it is something that will remain for posterity.
