Astronaut's daughter's viral TikTok tribute to moon mission

Maya Glover, daughter of Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, has achieved viral fame on TikTok for her heartwarming celebration of her father's historic moon mission. The 21-year-old architecture student's video, showcasing a dance tribute with her father's image, has captured the internet's attention, amassing over 10.4 million views and numerous comments. Her post included the Latin phrase 'supra astra, ad lunam,' meaning 'above the stars, to the moon.'

The Artemis II mission, with Victor Glover aboard alongside crewmates Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, has successfully completed a lunar flyby. The crew is now en route back to Earth, approximately 250,000 miles from home. This mission set a new record, with the Orion crew capsule traveling further from Earth than any previous human spaceflight, reaching 252,756 miles. A planned 40-minute radio blackout occurred as the spacecraft passed behind the moon, relying on onboard systems during this period.
