Victor Glover, having already touched the moon as pilot of the Artemis II mission, now turns his gaze earthward — not in retreat, but in purpose. His departure from NASA for a full-time academic role at California Polytechnic State University reflects a quiet truth about exploration: that the work of building those who will venture forward is as vital as the venturing itself. In choosing the classroom over the cockpit, Glover signals that the frontier of human spaceflight is sustained not only by those who fly, but by those who teach others how to dream and prepare for the journey.
