Nativeland Pod is a production of IHeart Radio and partnership with reason choice medium.

To make Andrew smile, we also have astronaut Victor Glover sharing some profound words as

Artemis too nears the moon.

Go ahead, Andrew Smile.

You know, I don't have anything prepared.

I'm glad you brought that up, though.

I think these observances are important, and as we are so far from Earth and looking back at, you know, the beauty of creation, I think for me, one of the really important personal perspectives that I have up here is I can really see Earth as one thing. And, you know, when I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us who were created, it's, you have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys are talking to us because we're in a spaceship really far from Earth, but you're on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe, in the cosmos. Maybe the distance we are from you makes you think what we're

doing is special, but we're the same distance from you. And I'm trying to tell you, just trust me,

you are special. In all of this emptiness, this is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe.

You have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together.

I think as we go into Easter Sunday thinking about, you know, all the cultures all around

the world, whether you celebrate it or not, whether you believe in God or not, this is an

opportunity for us to remember where we are,

who we are, and that we are the same thing and that we got to get through this together.

I just, I want people to show, I want people to know the type of symmetry we have on this show,

which is Native Land, because you've had the poetry and the great poets we just talked about,

offset, Gucci Man. And now this poetry that we just heard I mean Victor Glover I mean that that is I mean

poetry to my ears I understand that Gucci Man is the next person set to to go into space and

travel around the moon I think I should put a lot of that somewhere.

Now, what we try not to do on this show is spread missing disinformation.

I think what she's saying is we should probably put up.

He might have felt like he's been to the moon before.
