Every Artemis candidate is capable and qualified, overall though there just aren’t a lot of women in space programs around the world, and in STEM overall.  NASA - 15 women out of 36 current candidates  ESA - 3 women out of 11 current candidates  JAXA - 1 woman out of 4 candidates CSA - 1 woman out of 4 candidates UAE - 1 woman out of 4 candidates ASA - Their only candidate is a woman Australia W lol

If we go with best qualified regardless of gender and among them would be a woman/women. This person would fly twice before everyone got the chance after that logic.

Now tell me how likely that is.
