Brian Lair on WNYC. So here's a clip from this show back in 2020 when our studio dialed up the

actual international space station to allow me to interview some astronauts on

board at the time. You're going to hear astronaut Victor Glover, who among other things was

the first black member of a space station crew. He is now a member of the Artemis crew,

which just as you've been hearing in the news, set the record for traveling the farthest from planet

Earth.

So what he said in 2020, when I asked if he had any space travel fantasies for missions

he hoped to go on beyond the space station included this.

Actually landing safely from this mission is all the dream that I need.

And this mission right now, this very moment.

I mean, we are living a dream.

And I'll be very happy to land safely.

And then we'll go from there.

You'll have to ask me after we land safely.

All right.

Very humble, astronaut Victor Glover from the International Space Station in 2020.

So yesterday, six years and a few months after he did indeed safely return home, he beamed back

this report from the neighborhood of Earth's Moon over 220,000 miles farther than he was in 2020.

There look to be islands out beyond the Terminator because some of the things, gosh, maybe even a

Vivalov diameter into the tornado are catching sunlight on the peaks up to the north and to the south.

It's very, very interesting to see.

Integrity science.
