Bettina Inclán, Nasa's Communication Director, reported that NASA is planning on sending the first woman ever to the Moon five decades after the last human mission, by 2024. This would be the '''first woman on the Moon'''. “The last person walked on the Moon in 1972,” Inclán told CNN in a statement. “No woman has ever walked on the lunar surface.” <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
=== Funding ===
On June 17, 2019 President Trump announced he was adding $1.6 billion on top of the initial $21 billion budget request from NASA to accelerate the return to the lunar surface “so that we can return to Space in a BIG WAY!” This was part of the former President's long-term plan signed on December 11, 2017 called [[Directive 1]].
= History =
On June 16, 1963 The former [[Soviet Union]] was successful in being the first nation to send a woman to space, transporting 26-year-old [[cosmonaut]] [[Valentina Tereshkova]]. NASA is the first agency attempting to extend this feat to the Moon. To date, no other nation has announced an attempt to send a woman to the Moon, although manned missions are planned in several countries.
= Candidates =
[[Nicole Aunapu Mann|Nicole Mann]]
[[Victor Glover]]
[[Christina Koch]]
[[Kate Rubins]]
Other candidates have been drawn from the astronaut classes of 2013 and 2017. International applicants from Japan and Canada are in consideration as well.
