NASA astronaut — our brother in Christ — made us proud.
By Bobby Ross Jr. | The Christian Chronicle
Welcome home, Victor Glover!
We know you must be tired, but you energized us.
You and your Artemis II crewmates traveled 252,756 miles from Earth — a record for humanity.
We won’t take a lot of your time. But as your brothers and sisters in Christ, we must thank you.

Not for becoming the first African American astronaut to fly to the moon, although that’s cool.
Not for the fame piloting NASA’s first moon mission in 53 years brought you, although that’s terrific.
Not for the technical skills you demonstrated aboard “Integrity” — the name your crew gave the Orion spacecraft — although you’re brilliant.
Instead, we must thank you for the faith and humility you displayed throughout the mission.
You made us proud.
So, so proud.
