“Writes history”, who is the first female astronaut to travel to the moon

Born on January 29, 1979, Christina Koch is an American and astronaut engineer of NASA, the 2013 class. With a basic degree in electrical and physical engineering and a master's degree in electrical engineering from North Carolina State University, Christina Koch shortly before becoming an astronaut served in the National Ocean and Atmosphere Administration as chief station for the American Samoan and has since broken a record in its field. Now, Christina Koch will become the first woman to walk the moon when NASA's Artemis II mission starts in 2024.

In fact, the astronaut already holds the record for the longest time a woman has spent in space, 328 days, and participation in the first space walk in 2019.

In an interview in 2020, Christina Koch declared: “I really don't remember a time when I didn't want to be an astronaut. Passion and love for the world and space instilled in me a desire to contribute as much to humanity”.

The Artemis II mission, whose member will be Christina Koch, is expected to begin in November 2017 and will be NASA-led mission in the moon since the Apollo programme's end in 1972.

NASA, in co-operation with the Canadian Space Agency, announced on April 3rd 2023 mission members, and Christina Koch will become the first female astronaut to travel to the moon, writing its name in history books.

If I'm excited? Absolutely! She said at a press conference during the announcement of the crew of “Artemis II”.

As he explores space and makes history in human civilization, Christina Koch's husband, Robert, will take care of household chores and the couple's puppy. /abcnews. al
