What is Mission Specialist Victor "Vic" Glover?

Victor "Vic" Glover is like a superhero who helps astronauts go to space and do cool jobs up there.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy car, you push it, and it goes zooming across the floor. Now imagine that car was going all the way into the sky, past clouds, and into space! That's kind of what Mission Specialist Victor "Vic" Glover does. He helps make sure everything works smoothly during a trip to space.

Vic is like a guide who knows how to fix things if something goes wrong, just like when your toy car stops, and you have to figure out why. In space, astronauts need help with experiments, fixing machines, or even moving around in zero gravity. Vic helps them do all that.

He’s not just any guide, he's a Mission Specialist, which means he has special training to be really good at his job in space. It’s like being the best player on your team when you're playing soccer, but instead of scoring goals, he helps astronauts explore the universe!

Vic even went all the way to the International Space Station and helped live there, just like how some kids go to summer camp for a whole week!
