Victor Glover

thumb|And to all of you down there on Earth, and around Earth, we love you, from the Moon. Victor Jerome Glover Jr. (born April 30, 1976) is an American naval officer, test pilot, and NASA astronaut. He piloted the first operational flight of SpaceX's Crew Dragon to the International Space Station, where he served as a flight engineer on Expedition 64. In 2026, he became the first Black man to travel to the Moon aboard Artemis II. Quotes 2020s Thank you to all of you for allowing us the immense privilege to be on this journey together, it's quite amazing. And as we uh- go on this journey, thinking about the NASA mission to explore the unknown in air and space, to innovate for the benefit of humanity, and to inspire the world through discovery, and as you go along on this journey with us, uh hopefully were doing just those things. And as we get close to the nearest point to the moon and farthest point from Earth, uh- as we continue to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos, I would like to remind you of one of the most important mysteries on Earth, and that's love. Christ said, in response to, 'What was the greatest command?' that it was to love god with all that you are. And he also, being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it, and that is to love your neighbor, as yourself. And so as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we're still able to feel your true love, from Earth. And to all of you down there on Earth, and around Earth, we love you, from the Moon. Shortly before the brief LOS (Loss Of Signal) period as the Artemis II crew approached its closest point to the Moon (6 April 2026).
