Like all astronauts, the four-member crew of the Artemis II mission are members of the scientific community. They put their lives in the hands of thousands of people trained in math, physics and science. It’s an extraordinary endeavor of human ingenuity to put people into space.
Artemis II Pilot Victor Glover is a devout Christian. During the mission, he used every opportunity he had to share the Gospel without shame or embarrassment. Of course, with the current administration in office today, nobody at NASA would have dared said, “Stop it, Victor, you can’t say that.”
Every astronaut who goes into space is deeply impacted by what they see in space from a perspective that very few human beings will ever experience. On board a tiny capsule, hundreds of thousands of miles from Earth, they look into the blackness of space stretching beyond human imagination to see this little orb of life, Earth, floating in the midst of it all. It is a profoundly spiritual experience.
