Back in 2021, Tom Cruise interviewed Victor Glover long before Artemis II

When one Maverick meets another. Back in November 2021, Tom Cruise sat down with NASA astronaut Victor Glover during the World Extreme Medicine conference, shortly after Glover returned from his long-duration mission aboard the International Space Station. What makes this conversation even more fascinating today is that, at the time, Glover hadn’t even been selected for NASA’s Artemis II mission yet. Years later, he would go on to become the pilot of humanity’s first crewed mission around the Moon since Apollo. In the conversation, the two dive into how astronauts adapt to microgravity during both routine daily activities and more dynamic situations in spaceflight, while also bonding over their shared love for fast aircraft, aviation, and Top Gun.
