  Speaker 1: We got a question in for our American mama's. Dear mama's,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: is Victor Glover your favorite astronaut? Now, well, let's ask
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: our American mama's alma ma, she said, and joining us
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: now our American mama's Terry Edeville and Kimberly Burlason. Victor
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Glover one of the four astronauts who went to the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: far side of the moon and back in the Artemis
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: two mission. And one of the things when once they're
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: about to enter into the dark side of the backside
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: of the moon and they're going to go into radio silence,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: just before he read a Bible verse and you know,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: prayed to God and then they go into radio silence
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: on the backside before coming back out. You know, there's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: a lot to like about this this guy.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's powerful to see this guy use his platform
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: to remind us of God, to tell us to be better,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to focus on humanity and not all of the division.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: He said something I thought was so cool. He said, quote,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we need Jesus, whether on Earth or circle in the moon. Yeah,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and he has done. He gets back and he's in
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: front of his lawn and all these neighbors, all these
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: neighbors of every It looks like every color. You know.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know their faith, but they just look like
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: a variety of people in a Houston suburb.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Because that's of course NASA and the astronauts.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Live, right. And he says, I don't know a lot
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: of you whose fault is that ours. God tells us
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to do better, to be better neighbors to each other.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: We need to do that. Like he has really taken
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: this role and whatever happened to him up there, he felt.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: In fact, there was a video of him speaking about it,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and when he spoke he had a catch in his
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: throat about just feeling God, feeling the presence. This is
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: a scientist, right talking about and giving glory to God.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: And this is one of the things.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I think confuses people on the left of the most.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Bill Maher is a great example of this. He is
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: very confused by very intelligent people who are also very
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: devout people. He thinks that the smarter you are, the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: less likely you are to believe in Jesus, right, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: yet that just doesn't that's not the case.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: No, that's only that they only focus on these people
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: on the left landing media shows when they need to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: they have the scientists who are atheist or who don't believe,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: but I would venture to say that the vast majority
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: are believers.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Did you feel like there was a connection with these
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: astronauts that you haven't seen before? There seemed to be
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: something very special about these particular astronauts. You know, when
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: they named the spot on the moon after one of the.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Carol's mother, Yeah, why and why?
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: And they all embraced each other in very emotional and
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: then I know that the female astronaut, I don't know
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: her name, when she was talking about the experience, she
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: herself got a little choked up talking about it. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I'm wondering if this was that element that made it
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: more special, his.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Faith kind of being a unifying moment in the group,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: That's certainly possible. You know, we aren't really there. I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: do think you get to say, look, this is the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: first group that's flown, first group of humans that's flown
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to the moon since nineteen seventy two. So I don't
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: think any of these astronauts were alive the last time
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: man saw the moon up close, right, And so I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: think for them, you know, if you're an astronaut, you're
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: going through the whole program, and you're like, well, we've
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: been doing near low earth orbit for a very long time.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Are we ever going to go and do more explorations?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: You know, they may have thought that might never happen,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and here it is. They were the ones picked for this.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: You know what I find kind of fascinating is what
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: you just said. I don't know her name either, how come?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is huge, This is incredibly enormously beautiful,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: amazing what they've done. And yet I think in this
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: world where it's like shiny things, you know, or in
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: front of our faces, a lot of us, you see
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: it for a day, and then the media has stopped
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: talking about it. They don't talk about Victor Glover and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: all that he has said about God.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you see more of that on social media than
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you do on big.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Media, that's right. And so why have we just glossed
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: over something that was just truly extraordinary in our lifetime?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: And yet now we're focused on the memes of this
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: of president or we're focused on you know, what has
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: happened to Eric Swawell more so than these people who
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: just did something miraculous.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: In our short attention span. Theaters kind of society's kind
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of kicked in. So you have Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Kotch, Yeah, and mission specialist
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Jeremy Hanson. That's the guy from Canada that was a
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: part of this mission. But yeah, he asked people tomorrow
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: who all of these guys were, and nobody's gonna know.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: There is no Neil Armstrong moment in this, you know.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: And is there a reason why they don't want to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: promote Victor because all he does is talk about God
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: and what God has done in this moment?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Perhaps, But also I think they are focused the media.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Big media does seem to be focused on other things,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: which again I come back to social media can be
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: an awful thing or it can be a good thing.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: It is a tool. It is simply how you use it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: And for the folks that are sharing Victor Victor Glover's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: videos of him talking about God, I think that's a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: great way to use the tool. Yeah. So yeah, one
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: other favorite quote that I've I've had, not a Victor Glover,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: but back to the you know, the scientists who believe
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: in God. There's a Nobel Prize winning scientists back in
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the last century, and it was asked, hey, isn't isn't
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: religious in science? Isn't religion and science opposed? And he says, yes,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they are opposed, just like the thumb and the forefinger
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: are opposed. It is an opposition by which all things
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: can be grasped.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Ah. I love that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
