WATCH: Victor Glover’s 6-Word Message to His Wife Is Melting Hearts
On Monday evening, the Artemis II crew lost all communication with Earth as the Orion spacecraft passed around the far side of the moon.
Just before this planned communication blackout, Artemis II pilot Victor Glover delivered a romantic message to his wife, Dionna.
Glover's wife visited mission control to watch from the viewing gallery. There, she received a heartwarming six-word message from her husband.
"I love you from the moon," Glover said over the radio.
One of Glover's four daughters was also in attendance at the viewing gallery.
"To all of you, Genesis, Maya, Joia and Corinne, I love you," he said. "And Dionna, I love you. I'm glad you get to be there."

This heartwarming message from Glover garnered some serious traction on social media.
"Love is the most beautiful thing that exists and what moves the universe, simply because love gives you hope," one viewer wrote.
"Men have CRAZY standards to compete with now," another said.
"This is the type of love we deserve," another added.
Glover delivered a message about love to the entire human race before passing behind the moon on Artemis II's lunar flyby Monday night.
“As we prepare to go out of radio communication, we’re still able to feel your love from Earth,” Glover said. “And to all of you down their on Earth and around Earth, we love you from the moon.”
The four-person Artemis II crew, featuring Glover, Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen, set a new record for human distance away from Earth on Monday — surpassing the previous record set by Apollo 13 crew in 1970. They also become the first humans in more than 50 years to lose all direct contact with Earth as they passed behind the moon.
Artemis II is now in Day 7 of its 10-day lunar flyby mission.
