NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 NASA on Tuesday revealed the crew for its Artemis III mission, the next step in the space agency’s plan to eventually land astronauts on the moon.<\/p>\n

The announcement came two months after Artemis II’s record-breaking trip around the moon that surpassed the distance record of Apollo 13.<\/p>\n

NASA’s Randy Bresnik, Frank Rubio, Andre Douglas and the European Space Agency’s Luca Parmitano won’t fly to the moon or land on the surface. Instead, they\u2019ll orbit Earth while practicing docking their Orion capsule with two lunar landers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the Artemis III crew, we wish you Godspeed on the journey ahead,\u201d said NASA administrator Jared Isaacman.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos\u2019 Blue Origin are racing to deliver the lunar landers. The two-week demo is targeted for 2027. Blue Origin suffered a recent setback when its massive rocket exploded during an engine-firing test on the launch pad in Florida, shaking nearby homes and illuminating the sky with an orange fireball.<\/p>\n

NASA’s Jeremy Parsons said the setback is a learning opportunity and that the space agency is confident Blue Origin’s rocket will be ready in time.<\/p>\n

NASA’s Artemis program aims to return astronauts to the moon’s surface for the first time since the 1970s. A recent revamp of the program announced by Isaacman aims to fast-track it similarly to the Apollo era, adding the upcoming spaceflight around Earth before eyeing a lunar landing in 2028.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are certainly humbled as a crew to be able to be your crew that executes this Artemis III mission in space,\u201d said Bresnik, Artemis III commander.<\/p>\n

Added Douglas, mission specialist: \u201cMy brain \u2014 it is going a mile a minute right now. But my heart, it is so warm. It is so full.”<\/p>\n

In May, NASA awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts to four companies, including Blue Origin, to build landers, rovers and drones for a future moon base. Isaacman said the goal of the moon base is to lay the foundation for a Mars expedition.<\/p>\n
