Victor Jerome Glover (born April 30, 1976) is a NASA astronaut of the class of 2013[1][2] and pilot on the first operational flight of the SpaceX Crew Dragon to the International Space Station.

[5][6] Glover grew up in Pomona, California,[7] and graduated from Ontario High School in 1994, where he was a quarterback and running back for the Jaguars, and was a recipient of the 1994 Athlete of the Year Award.

[9] Additionally, Glover joined the Mustangs wrestling team (following his sixth-place finish at the CIF State Championship Meet),[12] and also competed as a student-athlete for the 1996 Cal Poly football squad, wearing number 23 as a defensive back.

Stationed at Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Japan, VFA-195 embarked on the USS George Washington in support of maritime operations in the Western Pacific Ocean.

"[7] SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule Resilience launched on November 15, 2020, carrying Glover together with two other NASA astronauts (Michael S. Hopkins and Shannon Walker) as well as Soichi Noguchi of Japan.

[20] Glover's first spacewalk, which lasted for more than six hours on January 27, 2021, was a team effort with Hopkins as they worked to upgrade the Columbus module.

[18] On Glover's third spacewalk, he and Kate Rubins began work to upgrade the station power supply with hardware in preparation for installation of new solar arrays.

[22] On February 24, 2021, NASA recorded a video call from Vice President Kamala Harris to Glover, in the space station.

According to NASA, "the conversation ranged from the legacy of human spaceflight to observing Earth from the vantage of the space station, Glover’s history-making stay aboard the orbiting laboratory, and preparing for missions from the Moon to Mars".
