There’s nothing new on this spacecraft. All the hardware has been used before. Except for one thing: the toilet. On Apollo they used bags. Artemis has a working toilet and it be the farthest toilet from Earth ever used.
Well, there’s women, and people of color.
No fiends, I think. 
Right, these aren’t “records” I suppose but this will be the first time a woman and a black person have gone to the moon. For some definitions of “gone to the moon” at least, since they won’t land or even orbit.
I’m sure NASA will make sure to include women and black astronauts in the actual landing as well.
I was only thinking of the hardware and engineering which says something about the way my mind works 
Am I misunderstanding things, or are the 4 astronauts really going to be spending 10 days inside the tiny Orion command module capsule? There won’t be a Moon landing but would they include the lunar module just to make the simulation-ride more accurate and also give them additional living space?
It’s my understanding that that is the case.
Yipes, OK.
The “lunar module” is supposed to be a Starship:
The mission plan calls for a Starship launch vehicle to launch a Starship HLS into Earth orbit, where it will be refueled by multiple Starship tanker spacecraft before boosting itself into a lunar near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO). There, it will rendezvous with a crewed Orion spacecraft that will be launched from Earth by a NASA Space Launch System (SLS) launcher. A crew of two astronauts will transfer from Orion to HLS, which will then descend to the lunar surface for a stay of approximately seven days, including at least five EVAs. It will then return the crew to Orion in NRHO.
The whole project seems to be a dog’s breakfast.
Gemini VII was 2 people for 14 days, in 55 cubic feet (1.55 m³). The comparison was the front row of a VW Beetle.
Artemis II will have 4 people for 10 days, in 330 cubic feet (9.34 m³). The comparison is 2 minivans. At least they’ll be able to move around a bit.
The first Artemis moonshot with a crew is now targeted for no earlier than Feb. 8, two days later than planned. NASA was all set to conduct a fueling test of the 322-foot (98-meter) moon rocket on Saturday, but called everything off late Thursday because of the expected cold. The critical dress rehearsal is now set for Monday, weather permitting.
Apollo 8, the comparable mission profile being CSM-only, no LM, to lunar orbit
was 3 men in 210 cubic feet (5.9 cubic metres) for 6 days, 3 hours. Apollo 7, the CSM-only LEO test, was 3 men almost 11 days. So yeah there is experience at this.
So, a bit better and the electronics are likely less bulky too.
“… near freezing temperatures …” That brings up some memories 
Also a Canadian. But I think the Canadian astronaut is a white man, not a Canadian woman of color.
That’s awesome.
Whoa, so is this the first time that a non-American human will be closer to another celestial body than to the Earth?
Yes it is. Well, assuming everything goes well, fingers crossed.
I’m fascinated they’re not doing a flight to test the vehicle that remains in Earth orbit.
As if the vibes these days weren’t already 1968 enough!
Yes. Three milestones of this kind will be reached. First woman to get closer to that than the Earth, first non-white person, first non-American. Maybe some other category I didn’t think of.
First quartet, in case they start singing? First trio plus solist. Or first double duos.
But if you’re not careful those first this or that records become a bit artificial.
Have they revealed what they are going to eat? I remember how proud Korea (South) was when their first astronaut ate kimchi in ISS orbit. The UNESCO declared it (kimchi, not the orbit) part of world’s intangible cultural heritage.
May I suggest first Poutine in orbit?
Given that the majority of the astronauts are US citizens, I rather suspect hamburgers. Out of a can (yes, they exist, I saw them once in an outdoor/camping catalog).
