As NASA prepares to return humans to the Moon, the Artemis generation is looking forward to seeing the first woman and the first person of color set foot there. In June 2022, NASA published a documentary, The Color of Space, that focuses on the lives and careers of seven current and former Black astronauts. Stephanie Wilson, Victor Glover, Jeanette Epps, Leland Melvin, Bernard Harris, Robert Curbeam, and Bobby Satcher each spoke about their path to selection as members of NASA's astronaut corps, as well as their training and mission experiences. The panel discussion was hosted by Vanessa Wyche, NASA Johnson Space Center Director and the first Black woman to lead a NASA center.
