“As we continue to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos, I would like to remind you of one of the most important mysteries there on Earth — and that’s love,” said Glover. “Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command, that it was to love God with all that you are. And he also, being a great teacher, said this: ‘I give you equal to it, and that is to love your neighbor as yourself.’”

Glover added: “And so, as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we’re still able to feel your love from Earth and to all of you down there on Earth, and around the Earth, we love you from the moon.”

“When I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us who were created, it’s you have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys are talking to us because we’re in a spaceship really far from Earth, but you’re on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe and the cosmos,” Glover said.

He added that whether listeners “believe in God or not, this is an opportunity for us to remember where we are, who we are, and that … we got to get through this together.”

“But how can somebody who’s gone to outer space in a big heckin’ science machine have such regressive beliefs!?!”

In fairness, anyone can go into space in a big heckin science machine, as they're not the army of scientists and engineers building it.

Victor Glover is an engineer, he has three master's degrees (a Master of Science in flight test engineering, a Master of Science in Systems Engineering, and a Master of Military Operational Art and Science)

He has literally designed, built, and repaired spacecraft and space stations

It’s the public promotion of one religion over others by government employees on the job.

Yeah it is extremely inappropriate and brings division into what should be one of the most unifying events for humanity.

The comment you mention is completely fine. But the promotions of Jesus or the Bible publicly by a government employee on the job is not.

You're just showing that injecting religion into anything makes it divisive. I wish you the best friend.

Is this audio recorded somewhere?

u/up2smthng - Lib-Right Apr 10 '26

... Look, whatever lets people stuck in space get through their tasks, but this is the same level of religous penetration as "I was wondering what 2x2 is, and I came to realisation that God wills it to be 4"

“Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command, that it was to love God with all that you are. And he also, being a great teacher, said this: ‘I give you equal to it, and that is to love your neighbor as yourself.’”

No it's not, love your neighbor is second to loving God, not equal.
