I love that the Artemis crew really runs the gamut: the oldest person to leave low earth orbit since Apollo, the first woman to travel beyond low earth orbit, the first person of color to travel beyond low earth orbit, and, of course, the first Canadian to travel beyond low earth orbit.

@dmoren I don’t think Canada was even a country yet when the final Apollo mission launched in 1972.
