Astronaut Victor Glover and his religious speech
Did anyone else find this really sad and distasteful? This man had the opportunity to send people (especially young people) on a journey of scientific discovery. Instead, he sent them backwards to the mythological, tribal beliefs of people from over 2000 years ago. It is awful when you think about it.
Instead of inspiring people in scientific discovery and generating more curiosity about science and the universe, he took the choice to prattle on about the 'beauty of creation' and 'reading the bible'. It is so sad that he hijacked such a wonderful scientific moment, and progressive human success story, to go into preaching mode and to try to spread his profoundly unscientific religious propaganda. I realise he is a pilot and not a scientist, but how is it possible to end up with someone with such anti-science beliefs like this on one of the most extraordinary scientific missions for humanity in recent times?
