Why are all these Artemis II astronaut interviews less than 10 min?? 😭 This is the Internet. Give me a 1-4 hour long former, dammit!

With everything going on this year watching Artemis II from launch to splash down was a joy. Can’t wait for more pictures and anecdotal thoughts like Victor just shared.

Victor Glover is a true hero for humanity. We all need to elevate what he stands for, a great role model.

I read his bio and it made me feel like an ant… I’m inquired to achieve so much more because of that moment. He is truly a hero!

Oh, I think it’s great. I’m interested in this SpaceX exploration but why is he? A hero? Didn’t save anyone’s life. He got to do what he wanted to do is like a little kid. His dream like a child. And get paid for it. I don’t know why anybody is saying their heroes.

for the problem with scale 5:54 it would be great if they had a 360 or 180 degree camera on the spacecraft. that way people could experience the scale of it with a headset VR

I love following up the Artemis II crew. They’re all so extraordinary. Thanks for the interview, CNET. Captain Glover is an incredible pilot, human being, American, and hero.

It not real. It fake. You need to wake up they are actors the world is a stage And the actors I like how they allway say it real it not most people are dumb I have the popcorn and watching the fake show. Most people lie so this man if he a man is lying. Wake up people

Artemis II was just great. The way the crew embodied both head and heart, the way they described what they were seeing and experiencing, the way they worked together….just all very good.
