VP Harris Announces International Astronaut to Join Future NASA Moon Landing

NASA and the White House have announced that an international astronaut will join U.S. astronauts on a future moon landing by the end of the decade. The specific country or astronaut has not been disclosed yet, but crews will be assigned closer to the missions. This move aligns with NASA's long-standing emphasis on global cooperation in space, as demonstrated by the Artemis Accords. The announcement was made during a meeting of the National Space Council, where Vice President Kamala Harris also addressed new policies to ensure the safe use of space.
