"Better than the simulator": Artemis II Pilot Victor Glover on flying Orion in space
During a live media interaction, Artemis II astronaut Victor Glover described piloting the Orion spacecraft as “a ton of fun,” highlighting how smoothly it handled in real space conditions. After Artemis II's impressive launch from Kennedy Space Center, only Victor flew the spaceship on Flight Day 1, and he is set to pilot the spacecraft again on their way back to Earth after the lunar flyby. Fellow crew members Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen have also manually operated Orion.
