Andre Douglas was named a backup for the highly anticipated Artemis 2 mission just weeks after he passed two years of basic astronaut training.
Artemis 2 aims to send four astronauts around the moon no earlier than September 2025.
Douglas : "I just want to make sure I balance everything with having fun at home, with the wife and two kids".
Douglas : "With my background, with the degrees and with the experience that APL [gave me] with being an operator, and the Coast Guard , all of that comes into play" "It's a really nice sweet spot for me to be able to contribute right out the gate," he says.
"I think I'm a unique complement to all of them in various different ways".
Douglas : "I never would have thought that I'm looking at a new space station around the moon , and building a deep space transportation system, and trying to go beyond. It's going to take some time. But at the end of the day , like everybody in NASA and its contractors, we're all moving forward as best as we can. And we want to make sure that everybody gets to where they need to go safely".
