Earth Day 2026 - You look beautiful
4/22/202613 min
You look amazing, you look beautiful. Those are the words of Victor Glover, pilot of NASA’s Artemis 2 mission. He spoke those words less than a month ago on his trip to the moon. His way of describing our planet as he peered out the window of his space capsule and took in the view.

"You look amazing. You look beautiful." Those are the words of Victor Glover, pilot of NASA's Artemis II mission. He spoke those words less than a month ago on his trip to the moon, his way of describing our planet as he peered out of the window of his space capsule and took in the view.
