Two astronauts with California ties are bound for the moon in 2028, after NASA unveiled the crew that will undertake a key mission in its effort to return humans to lunar orbit. On Tuesday, the space agency named the four selected for its Artemis III mission, the next major step in NASA’s long-term moon program. Veteran Randolph Bresnik, known as “Komrade,” and fellow NASA astronaut Frank Rubio — both of whom have connections to California — will join Andre Douglas and Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency on the mission.
