NASA Astronaut Victor Glover Reflects on Space and Social Issues
NASA astronaut Victor Glover, set to pilot the Artemis 2 mission to the moon, has shared insights into his personal reflections on space exploration and social issues. Glover, who will be the first African American to orbit the moon, listens to Gil Scott-Heron's 'Whitey on the Moon' and Marvin Gaye's 'Make Me Wanna Holler' for perspective on the socio-economic challenges faced by Black Americans during the Apollo era. These songs remind him of the disparities that existed during the space race and the importance of acknowledging diverse perspectives in space exploration.
