Victor Glover

Victor Glover is a NASA astronaut who is part of the Artemis II mission crew. This mission is significant as it will be the first crewed mission to the Moon in over 50 years. The news articles focus on the preparations for the Artemis II mission, specifically the rollout of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket to the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The rocket's movement to the launch pad marks a crucial step in the lead-up to the mission, which is currently scheduled to launch as early as February 6th. The Artemis II mission will send its crew on a 685,000-mile journey around the moon, with an expected duration of about 10 days, culminating in a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. Glover's involvement in this mission makes him a central figure in the renewed focus on lunar exploration.
