Artemis II Pilot Victor Glover explained how orbiting above the world led him to reflect on faith, humanity, and our place in the universe.

In so many words, his message wasn’t just about space, it was about us.

From his vantage point, far beyond Earth’s surface, Glover described something both humbling and unifying: Earth doesn’t look divided. It looks whole… one planet, one home, one shared existence.

As he reflected on Scripture and the beauty of creation, he offered a striking comparison. While astronauts are seen as traveling in a “spaceship” far from Earth, we often forget that we, too, are living on one. Earth itself is perfectly designed to sustain life in the vast emptiness of the cosmos.

In that contrast, his message became deeply personal.

In a universe he described as “a whole bunch of nothing,” Glover pointed back to Earth as an oasis—rare, beautiful, and full of life. A place where humanity exists together, not apart—not as separate nations, cultures, or beliefs, but as one shared story.

Speaking from Artemis II days before Easter, his words took on even more meaning. Whether someone celebrated the holiday or not, Glover framed it as a moment to reflect on who we are, where we are, and how deeply connected we truly are.

His encouragement was simple but profound: in all the vastness of space, you are special. And more than that—we need each other.
