Nationwide — Victor Glover is set to make history as the first Black astronaut to travel to the moon. He will pilot NASA’s Artemis II mission, joining a crew of three, in a flight that marks the U.S.’s return to human lunar exploration after more than 50 years and sets the stage for future moon landings.

According to Essence, Glover, 49, will fly alongside Commander Reid Wiseman, NASA mission specialist Christina Koch, the first woman star sailor going to the moon, and Canadian Space Agency mission specialist Jeremy Hansen. During the mission, the crew will orbit the moon and face about 45 minutes of total communication blackout while passing over its far side.
