Victor Glover listens to "Wh**ey on the Moon" every Monday. He just became the first Black astronaut to fly around it.

Decades before NASA had the technology to send humans around the moon, a Black mathematician named Katherine Johnson was doing the calculations by hand. Working at NASA's Langley Research Center from 1953 to 1986, Johnson computed the trajectories that put the first Americans into space, helped John Glenn orbit Earth, and plotted the path that took Apollo 11 to the moon and back. Her foundational work on the mathematics of spaceflight became part of NASA's core technical literature.

Today, that same lineage of work is what made Artemis II possible. On April 6, NASA astronaut Victor Glover, the pilot of the Orion spacecraft, became the first Black astronaut to fly around the moon. Glover and his three crewmates — Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen — set a new record for the farthest distance any humans have ever traveled from Earth, reaching 252,760 miles. The trajectories that took them there are built on the same mathematical foundations Johnson helped establish in the 1960s.

Johnson received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 and died in February 2020 at age 101. Her story was made famous by the 2016 book and film "Hidden Figures." Glover has spoken openly about the legacy he carries, telling interviewers that he listens to Gil Scott-Heron's "Wh**ey on the Moon" every Monday as a reminder of who came before him and who the mission is for. The line connecting them now stretches all the way to the far side of the moon.

In July 2018, 13-year-old Jaequan Faulkner was running a hot dog stand called "Mr. Faulkner's Old-Fashioned Hot Dogs" outside his home in North Minneapolis to raise money for school clothes. After a neighbor filed a complaint with the Minneapolis Department of Health for operating without a permit, city officials chose to mentor the young entrepreneur rather than shut him down.
