How NASA trained astronauts to shoot the Moon on Artemis II

Twenty hours of training to shoot one mission. NASA's photography instructor Paul Reichert built a structured curriculum that took astronauts from zero to mission-ready across roughly ten dedicated classes, including drills inside an Orion capsule mock-up with an inflatable moon. The logistics are fascinating, but the real takeaway is the framework: baseline competency first, gear familiarisation second, mission-specific practice last. Anyone who hands a camera to a non-photographer on a job and hopes for the best should read this.
