HR & workforce news, week of June 8, 2026

Machine summary Key facts from the reports:

1. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman stated that the Artemis III crew was chosen based solely on experience, skill sets, and availability, not gender, noting nearly 50% of center directors and mission leadership are women.
2. The four-member crew consists of Commander Randy Bresnik (58, shuttle/ISS veteran), Pilot Luca Parmitano (49, ESA, two ISS stays), Andre Douglas (40, rookie engineer), and Frank Rubio (49, U.S. record 371 days in space).
3. A Reddit post called the all-male selection 'massively upsetting,' arguing women represent 50% of the population and deserve at least one seat on a government-run mission.
4. Isaacman emphasized his own spaceflights had 50% female crews, and the astronaut office shows diversity across gender, background, nationality, and heritage.
