TSR Staff China! China_lovelace ___________________________ #TSRBlackExcellence: Victor Glover is making history as the pilot of Artemis II, becoming the first Black astronaut to travel to and orbit the Moon per apnews. The mission officially launched as four astronauts blasted off aboard NASA’s massive 32-story Space Launch System from Kennedy Space Center. ___________________________ Glover is joined by astronauts Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen for the historic journey. The crew will travel thousands of miles past the Moon, make a U-turn, and head straight back to Earth. ___________________________ The fly-around marks the first human trip toward the Moon in 53 years. While the astronauts won’t land or walk on the lunar surface during this mission, NASA says it’s a key step toward future missions that will put more boot prints in the Moon’s gray dust. 🌑✨ SWIPE ✍🏾#TSRStaffAS 📷:(gettyimages)
