Japan's 2 new astronauts show excitement, with Moon possibly in sight
Japan's two newly approved astronauts express excitement about their upcoming space journey, amid expectations that they could be selected as the first Japanese astronauts to land on the Moon under the U.S.-led lunar exploration program.
With the two seen as potential candidates to take part in NASA's lunar exploration program known as Artemis, Yoneda said, "I don't know who will be picked, but I am thinking what is necessary as a team." As part of the Artemis program, the United States aims to return humans to the Moon in 2026, more than half a century since the last Apollo mission by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. They have undergone basic training, including piloting a plane, health management in outer space and electrical engineering, after being selected as astronaut candidates by JAXA in 2023.
