NASA defends Artemis III crew amid gender debate
NASA has defended its crew selection for the Artemis III mission, which consists of three men and one European astronaut, amid criticism for not including women. Critics argued that the all-male lineup is a step backward, especially since Artemis is considered the "twin sister" of Apollo and originally aimed to land the first woman on the Moon. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman emphasized that crew choices are based on expertise and qualifications, not politics or diversity considerations, and highlighted that women astronauts are preparing for future missions.
