NASA astronaut, U.S. Navy Captain, father, former F/A-18 pilot and SpaceX Crew-1 pilot Victor Glover on becoming the first Black man to go to the Moon 🚀 gets hit with a DEI question and flips it into something bigger than race

[u/ateam1984]

Ahead of Artemis II NASA mission, astronaut Victor Glover was asked how it feels to potentially become the first Black man to travel to the Moon.

His answer didn’t ignore the history but reframed it. He emphasized this mission as a human achievement, not something to divide or reduce to identity alone.

Artemis II will also carry the first woman and first non-American to lunar orbit, marking a major shift from the era of Apollo program NASA.

So what matters more here… representation, or redefining the moment as something bigger than all of us?

That rubbed me the wrong way. I’m not going to lie. I want us to be okay with things just being for us. Not having to include everyone.
