LES MARGARET JUNIOR 2022 ARE
Allyah SEMIAI in the Junior Europe category
Malebina TSOTSOTSO in the Junior Africa category
JFD reached for the moon for les Margaret by giving them a moon fragment. A timeless gesture achieved in collaboration with designer Rose Mercier.
These lunar meteorites are more than 4 billion years old and take more than 100,000 years to arrive on Earth. Only 20 kilos are found each year, there is nothing rarer or more precious in the world.
OBJECTIVE MOON FOR LES MARGARET JUNIORS!
Allyah and Malebina names will be added to the flight manifest of the Orion spacecraft, NASA’s ARTEMIS I mission.
In May, they will have a front row seat to a mission that is crucial to pave the way for a permanent human settlement on the moon and that will lead to the first woman’s step on the moon by 2025. ARTEMIS I will launch in a configuration that exactly replicates the conditions of unmanned flight and will orbit the moon for 25 days.
