As the Artemis II astronauts continued their historic mission to the moon, the crew sent an inspiring Easter message to those back home. On April 4, a CBS News reporter asked mission pilot Victor Glover if he had a message to share ahead of Easter. Glover, who brought his Bible into space with him, delivered a reflection on the beauty of creation.
“As we are so far from Earth and look back at, you know, the beauty of creation — I think for me, one of the really important personal perspectives that I have up here is I can really see Earth as one thing,” Glover said. “And when I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us … you have this amazing place, this spaceship.”
“I think, as we go into Easter Sunday, thinking about all the cultures all around the world, whether you celebrate it or not, whether you believe in God or not, this is an opportunity for us to remember where we are, who we are, and that we are the same thing, and that we’ve gotta get through this together.”
