美国国家航空航天局（NASA）局长贾里德·艾萨克曼就该机构为阿尔忒弥斯三号任务选拔全男性机组人员一事回应称，宇航员的选拔完全基于他们的经验、技能和可出勤情况。
艾萨克曼在社交媒体平台X上写道：“我看到的反应从失望到愤怒不一而足。”
Reddit上的一则评论将机组人员公布称为“极其令人沮丧”。该帖子写道：“女性占人口的50%，政府运营的机构执行的每一次任务都至少应该给她们留一个席位。”
艾萨克曼表示：“我本人曾两次与女性占比50%的机组人员一同前往太空。我最亲密的顾问以及我认识的一些最顶尖的工程师都是女性。在我们最新的NASA领导团队中，近50%的中心主任和任务局领导都是女性。”
他继续说道：“本届政府任内选拔的上一批宇航员候选人以女性居多（6名女性，4名男性），因为她们是最优秀的人才，其中包括一位我曾一同上过太空的宇航员安娜·梅农。”
周二在约翰逊航天中心的一场活动中，NASA公布了入选明年阿尔忒弥斯三号任务的宇航员。此次飞行将在近地轨道测试交会和对接程序，配套的登月着陆器由太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）和蓝色起源公司建造。
本次任务的指令长是58岁的兰迪·布雷斯尼克，他曾执行过一次航天飞机任务和一次空间站驻留任务，累计在太空停留149天。欧洲航天局宇航员卢卡·帕尔米塔诺现年49岁，曾两次长期驻留国际空间站，将担任飞行员。

机组成员还包括40岁的安德烈·道格拉斯，这是他首次进入太空，拥有丰富的工程经验；以及49岁的弗兰克·鲁比奥，他在2022年至2023年间在国际空间站驻留了371天，创下美国宇航员太空驻留时长纪录。
在周三播出的美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）采访中，布雷斯尼克表示，为阿尔忒弥斯三号任务选拔全男性机组“绝非有意为之”。
“你可以看看我们的宇航员办公室，办公室内部有着广泛的多样性，无论是性别、背景、国籍还是族裔，”他说，“当然，主管必须挑选他所能找到的、具备任务所需技能的可用机组人员。”
NASA目前约有35名现役宇航员。其中包括15名女性，但尚未包括目前正在接受训练以加入宇航员队伍的6人。
阿尔忒弥斯二号机组是该项目首批搭载宇航员的机组，其中包括克里斯蒂娜·科赫，她成为首位绕月飞行的女性。

布雷斯尼克表示，还有两名尚未公布姓名的女性正在接受后续飞行任务的训练。
“宇航员办公室会在需要的时候调配所需人员，我们肯定会迎来你们提到的这些人才，比如女性军事试飞员或是其他女性宇航员，她们将承担后续阿尔忒弥斯系列任务，”布雷斯尼克说。

无论如何，阿尔忒弥斯三号机组为这次本质上属于近地轨道飞行测试的任务带来了多种多样的技能。
布雷斯尼克曾是美国海军战斗机武器学校（TOPGUN）毕业生，也是一名军事试飞员；帕尔米塔诺曾在意大利空军驾驶高性能喷气式战机。鲁比奥拥有医学博士学位，曾是UH-60“黑鹰”直升机飞行员。道格拉斯拥有三个硕士学位和一个工程学博士学位。
艾萨克曼表示，宇航员办公室“会综合考虑诸多因素，指派最有可能完成任务目标的机组人员，这些因素包括宇航员的背景和专业技能，比如试飞员经验、特定项目的研发工作以及可出勤情况”。
他补充道，批评阿尔忒弥斯三号机组人员选拔的人“可能并不了解已经在为前往空间站做准备的机组人员梯队，或是那些正在接受月球专属训练、更适合未来登月任务的人员”。
艾萨克曼最后总结称，布雷斯尼克和他的机组同事们“经验丰富、资质合格，理应因被分配到这项任务而受到表彰，就像后续机组人员在轮到他们执行任务时也会受到表彰一样”。
NASA chief defends selection of all-male crew for Artemis III mission
June 10, 2026 / 3:08 PM EDT / CBS News
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, responding to questions about the agency’s selection of an all-male crew for the Artemis III mission, said the astronauts were chosen based solely on their experience, skill sets and availability.
Isaacman wrote on the social media platform X that “I have seen reactions ranging from disappointment to outrage.”
One such response on Reddit called the crew announcement “massively upsetting.” “Women represent 50 percent of the population,” the post read. “They deserve at least one seat on every mission from a government run agency.”
Isaacman said he had “personally been to space twice with 50 percent female crews. My closest advisors and some of the smartest engineers I know are women. In our latest NASA leadership organization, nearly 50 percent of the center directors and mission directorate leadership are women.”
He continued: “The last astronaut candidate class selected under this administration was majority female [six women and four men] because they were the best of the best, including one astronaut [Anna Menon] I previously went to space with.”
During an event Tuesday at the Johnson Space Center, NASA revealed the astronauts who had been selected for next year’s Artemis III mission. The flight will test rendezvous and docking procedures in low-Earth orbit with moon landers being built by SpaceX and Blue Origin.
The mission will be commanded by Randy Bresnik, 58, veteran of 149 days in space during a shuttle flight and a space station stay. European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano, 49, a veteran of two long-duration ISS stays, will serve as pilot.

Also on board: Andre Douglas, 40, a space rookie with broad engineering experience, and Frank Rubio, 49, who logged a U.S.-record 371 days in space aboard the ISS in 2022-23.
In an interview that aired on CNN Wednesday, Bresnik said the selection of an all-male crew for Artemis III was “certainly not intentional.”
“You can look at our astronaut office and see the wide diversity within the office, whether that’s gender or background or nationality or heritage,” he said. “And certainly, the boss had to pick the crew for this flight that he had available that had the skill sets that he needed.”
NASA currently has about 35 active-duty astronauts. The list includes 15 women but does not yet include the six currently in training to join the astronaut corps.
The Artemis II crew, the program’s first to carry astronauts, included Christina Koch, who became the first woman to fly around the moon.
NASA’s Jessica Meir and ESA’s Sophie Adenot are currently in orbit aboard the International Space Station, and Jasmin Moghbeli is in training to command an upcoming SpaceX Crew Dragon flight to the lab complex.

Bresnik said two more yet-to-be-announced women are in training for a downstream flight.
“The office gets what it needs when it needs it, and we’ll certainly have all these other people that you mentioned, you know, female military test pilots or just other female astronauts, that’ll be picking up on the follow-on Artemis missions,” Bresnik said.

In any case, the Artemis III crew brings a wide variety of skills to what is essentially a flight test in low-Earth orbit.
Bresnik is a former “TOPGUN” graduate and military test pilot while Parmitano flew high-performance jets for the Italian air force. Rubio holds a doctorate in medicine and is a former UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter pilot. Douglas holds three master’s degrees and a Ph.D. in engineering.
Isaacman said the astronaut office “assigns the crew that gives the mission the best chance of meeting its objectives, taking into account many factors, including the background and expertise of the astronauts, such as test pilot experience, development work on specific programs, and availability.”
He added that critics of the Artemis III crew selection “may not be aware of the pipeline of crews already preparing to launch to the space station, or those who have been undergoing lunar-specific training that would be a better fit for a future surface mission.”
Isaacman concluded by saying Bresnik and his crewmates were “experienced, qualified and deserve to be celebrated for the mission they have been assigned, just as the crews that follow will be celebrated when their time comes.”
