Victor Glover, the pilot of NASA's Artemis II mission, spoke to the media about his recent journey around the Moon and the experience of piloting the Orion spacecraft. Glover, an experienced naval aviator, previously flew on the Crew Dragon mission to the International Space Station in November 2020. During the Artemis II mission, he was responsible for much of the test piloting of Orion, which is part of NASA's goal to return humans to the Moon and create a semi-permanent base there. In interviews, Glover expressed his preference for Orion's traditional translational hand controller over the touchscreen controls of the Crew Dragon. He noted that the real handling of the spacecraft was more responsive and realistic than the simulations, describing it as a 'rumble like driving a pickup on a dirt road.' Glover praised the integrated system of Orion, stating that it flew significantly better than expected from the simulations, highlighting the team's accomplishments in preparing the spacecraft for the mission.
