Glover's Monday ritual: Gil Scott‑Heron's Whitey on the Moon grounds Artemis 2
Artemis 2 pilot Victor Glover says he listens to Gil Scott‑Heron’s 1970 poem-song Whitey on the Moon every Monday to stay grounded in the human realities behind space exploration, a perspective he says informs NASA’s moon mission as he and three crewmates prepare for a 10-day lunar flyby that would make him the first person of color to visit the Moon.
