Four Artemis II astronauts just returned from their journey around the Moon, but preparations to land humans on the surface of the Moon once again have been in progress long before liftoff. Follow NASA astronaut Victor Glover as he arrives at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, to put on his spacesuit and begin an underwater run in the training pool. This day-in-the-life snapshot depicts a simulated traverse on the lunar surface, including using lunar geology tools, recovering from a fall, and more. Glover, and many other astronauts, participate in these simulations to help crew trainers develop lesson plans that future moonwalkers will use in training. This video was filmed in August 2023.
