Artemis II Astronaut Extemporaneously Delivers the Most Profound Easter Message Imaginable

Glover linked the mission to Apollo 8 and said Earth is a shared home as Artemis 2 heads for a Monday lunar flyby.

  • On Saturday, April 4, Artemis II pilot Victor Glover delivered an impromptu Easter message while traveling through space, telling Earth, "Just trust me, you are special."
  • Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman leads the four-person crew on a 10-day journey to circumnavigate the moon, joined by Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen.
  • Marking the occasion, the crew hid dehydrated scrambled egg packets around the cabin, with Koch noting, "It's a time of emotions such as joy, as well as solemnness."
  • The mission parallels the 1968 Apollo 8 flight, when astronauts read the Book of Genesis during a Christmas Eve broadcast reaching an estimated 25% of Earth's population.
  • Seeking to recreate the iconic "Earthrise" photo, the crew will loop around the moon's far side on Monday evening before the Orion capsule returns to Earth on Friday, April 10.
