LA County to the Moon.
Victor Glover, a Pomona native, is set to become the first Black astronaut to travel around the Moon as part of NASA’s Artemis II mission.
He started out studying engineering at Cal Poly, went on to become a Navy pilot flying combat missions, and eventually logged over 3,500 flight hours before joining NASA.
In 2021, he spent six months aboard the International Space Station.
Now he’s heading into deep space.
Not a bad trajectory.
By the way, we have a weekly newsletter with what’s worth knowing about and doing in Los Angeles. One newsletter. Once a week. Link in bio.
