Astronaut Christina Koch, 47, is the first woman to travel to the Moon. She is also one of the four people who have ventured the farthest into space, serving as a specialist on the Artemis 2 mission. An engineer and physicist, Koch is the first civilian scientist astronaut — with no ties to her country’s military — to achieve all those milestones; she also holds the record for the longest continuous time spent in space by a woman and took part in the first all-female spacewalk.
