'WHEN I READ THE BIBLE, I LOOK AT ALL OF THE AMAZING THINGS THAT WERE DONE FOR US...'
Ibinahagi ng National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ang naging repleksyon ni Artemis II pilot Victor Glover tungkol sa Earth.
Sa Facebook post ng NASA nitong Sabado, Abril 11 (oras sa Pilipinas), ibinahagi ni Glover ang napagnilayan niya noong Easter Sunday tungkol sa mundo.
"As we are so far from Earth and looking back, and you know the beauty of creation, for me, one of the really important personal perspectives that I have up here is I can really see Earth as one thing," saad ni Glover sa video clip ng NASA. "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."
Pagpapatuloy pa ng Artemis II pilot, marahil para sa iba ay espesyal ang kanilang ginagawa dahil nasa labas sila ng mundo, giit niya na pareho lang ang halaga ng bawat isa dahil ang lahat ng tao ay nasa isang "spaceship" na Earth.

"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," ani Glover.
"I think as we go into Easter Sunday thinking about, you know, all the cultures 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," ika pa niya.
Samantala, matagumpay na nakabalik sa mundo si Glover kasama ang tatlong pang NASA astronaut crew na sina Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, at Jeremy Hansen nitong Sabado, Abril 11 (oras sa Pilipinas).
Nakatakdang magpahinga ang mga astronaut matapos nilang harapin ang maximum speed na 30 beses na mas mabilis sa speed of sound at maranasan ang mataas na temperatura sa muling pagpasok nila sa mundo.
Matatandaang Abril 1, 2026, nang lumipad mula Florida palabas ng mundo ang Orion spacecraft sakay ang mga nasabing astronaut.
Mula dito, nagawang makapagtala ng kasaysayan ang kanilang ekspedisyon dahil narating nila ang mahigit 252,757 milyang layo mula sa mundo na maituturing na pinakamalayong distansyang naabot ng tao mula sa Earth.
Higit na mas malayo ito ng 4,102 milya kumpara sa dating tala ng Apollo 13 noong 1970, na umabot sa 248,655 milya.
