Victor Glover says he grew up watching the moon from his backyard.

However, he didn’t know he wanted to be an astronaut until he was 37 years old — and gained the courage to start astronaut candidate training.

The training paid off and fast forward to now, Glover is an astronaut and part of NASA’s Artemis II crew.
