00:01:41,701 --> 00:01:46,840
Melroy was selected as an astronaut
 candidate by NASA in December 1994.

31
00:01:47,307 --> 00:01:51,311
She is a veteran of three spaceflights,
 with more than 38 days in space,

and following a legal ruling
 upholding NASA’s selection of SpaceX

37
00:02:13,299 --> 00:02:18,004
to develop a human lunar lander,
 NASA leadership reiterated its commitment

38
00:02:18,004 --> 00:02:21,708
to long-term exploration of the Moon
 under our Artemis program.

39

41
00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:34,087
with SpaceX to discuss options
 for the next lunar landing,

42
00:02:34,220 --> 00:02:36,890

00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,503
living and working inside the Human
 Exploration Research

47
00:02:50,503 --> 00:02:53,706

Groundlinks are like
 the educational downlinks with the crew

49
00:02:57,443 --> 00:02:59,512
aboard the International Space Station

50
00:02:59,512 --> 00:03:02,982
during which students learn more
 about living and working in space.

51
00:03:03,583 --> 00:03:08,121
HERA analog missions simulate long-term
 human spaceflight to help scientists

52
00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:13,026
understand how isolation, confinement,
 and remote conditions will affect

53
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:17,230
astronauts on Artemis missions to the Moon
 and on future missions to Mars.
