As soon as April 1, NASA is poised to make history -- sending the first woman, the first person of color, and the first non-American on a voyage around the Moon. Canadian Jeremy Hansen is among the four-person crew, what Joshua Kutryk, an astronaut who also hails from Canada, called "a very big deal." Wearing a traditional royal-blue flight suit, Kutryk -- who is currently training for his own mission to the International Space Station -- made the trip to Florida's Kennedy Space Center to cheer on his colleague, who could take off as early as April 1 (Photo by Charlotte CAUSIT / AFP via Getty Images)
