Artemis II_ Meet the Astronauts Who will Fly Around the Moon

Artemis 2 is a planned mission by NASA to send astronauts back to the Moon. It is part of the broader Artemis program, which aims to land humans on the lunar surface by 2024. While Artemis 2 will carry astronauts to lunar orbit, it will not land on the Moon.

If you are referring to the astronaut who previously went to the Moon, several astronauts have accomplished this feat during NASA's Apollo program. The first human to set foot on the Moon was Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Other astronauts from subsequent Apollo missions who also went to the Moon include Buzz Aldrin, Charles "Pete" Conrad, Alan Bean, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, David Scott, James Irwin, John W. Young, Charles Duke, Eugene Cernan, and Harrison Schmitt.
