(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Victor Glover is the pilot on Crew-1 Mission. As a test pilot, he had been as high as 64,000 feet, but in space he's now a rookie. He says he is surrounded with love and support - from his wife and kids, his parents/grandparents, and the thousands of people whose work enables him and his astronaut colleagues to go into space.
To manage family relationships as he leaves earth for half a year, he tries to keep things simple, flexible, and low stress. His oldest child will graduate from high school next spring, and he hopes to be there for her; but they all know he might have to watch from space.
Victor's favorite aircraft so far is the F-18. But he says that flying the brand new Crew Dragon spacecraft is a test pilot's dream.
All four astronauts - Victor Glover, Shannon Walker, Soichi Naguchi, Mike Hopkins - are interviewed here:
