Senator Joni Ernst extended her congratulations to Raja Chari from Cedar Falls. Chari was selected by NASA to join a team of astronauts that will go to the moon as part of NASA’s Artemis program.
The program, which will send the first woman and the next man to the lunar surface, is NASA’s effort to establish a sustainable presence on the moon and continue deep space exploration in preparation to go to Mars.
