Watch: Artemis II’s Victor Glover Shared Jesus’ Teachings from Space with Entire World, Then NASA Gave Incredible Response
The Artemis II lunar flyby broadcast featured a memorable moment when astronaut Victor Glover shared a Christian reflection on love, framing it as one of Earth’s most vital mysteries alongside the cosmic perspective of approaching the Moon.In a clip circulated on X, Glover paraphrased Matthew 22:37-39, urging people to love God with all their heart and to love their neighbor as themselves. NASA Public Affairs Officer Leah Cheshier supplemented the message, calling Glover’s remarks a “love letter from the other side of the moon.”
The piece emphasizes the awe of the mission’s images, noting views of a crescent Moon and Earth and a rare in-space solar eclipse, which the NASA gallery describes as revealing regions never seen before. Cheshier’s commentary highlighted this view as a moment to praise God, and social-media responses echoed thankfulness for the spiritual dimension of the broadcast rather than a political or “woke” pivot.
Readers are encouraged to watch the full segment on the X video and to explore NASA’s Artemis II coverage for additional context. The article concludes with expressions of reverence for Creation and gratitude for sharing the moment with the astronauts.
When those who inhabit a fallen, war-torn world most need a heavenly perspective, rest assured that God will provide one.
On Monday, in His infinite wisdom, He surprised us by acting through NASA.
During a live broadcast of the Artemis II lunar flyby, astronaut Victor Glover delivered a beautiful Christian message to the entire planet, followed by an endorsement and complementary remarks from NASA Public Affairs Officer Leah Cheshier.
“As we get close to the nearest point to the moon and farthest point from Earth, as we continue to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos,” Glover said in a clip posted to the social media platform X, “I would like to remind you of one of the most important mysteries there on Earth. And that’s love.”
At that point, those of us who have grown jaded from awards-show acceptance speeches might have feared some imminent woke diatribe. Instead, Glover gave us something beautiful.
“Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command, that it was to love God with all that you are,” the astronaut added. “And He also, being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it, and that is to love your neighbor as yourself.”
Glover was paraphrasing Matthew 22:37-39: “And he said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Imagine all the science enthusiasts who tuned in to the NASA broadcast and heard the New Testament!
“And so,” Glover continued, “as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we’re still [inaudible] love from Earth. And to all of you down there on Earth, and around Earth, we love you, from the moon.”
Then, Cheshier responded.
“Poignant words from NASA astronaut Victor Glover,” she said. “And a little bit of a love letter from the other side of the moon, all the way to Earth. Glover touching on the teachings of Jesus, including to love your neighbor as yourself.”
Several minutes later in the actual broadcast, though only a few seconds later in the clip posted to X, Cheshier commented on the view from the spacecraft’s camera.
“And this really beautiful view of a crescent moon and a crescent Earth,” she said. “How great Thou art.”
This was one of my favorite parts of the Artemis II Lunar Flyby yesterday. I loved these words from Victor Glover and Leah Cheshier.

According to NASA, the images captured by the Artemis II astronauts showed “regions no human has ever seen before — including a rare in-space solar eclipse.”
We can only imagine what Glover and the other astronauts felt as they absorbed those breathtaking views up close.
On the other hand, we need not imagine what went through Glover’s mind. As he encountered a part of Creation hitherto unseen by humans, his thoughts turned to Jesus.
Praise God for allowing us to experience that moment with him.
