And when mission pilot Victor Glover was asked in a CBS interview if he had an Easter message, he said he didn't have anything prepared, but then he went on to talk about his faith in God and the Bible

"When I read the Bible, and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us, who were created it, you have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys are talking to us because we're on a spaceship, and we're really far from Earth, but you're on a spaceship called Earth, that was created to give us a place to live in the universe and the cosmos."

"Maybe the distance we are from you makes you think what we're doing is special, but we're the same distance from you. And I'm trying to tell you, just trust me, you are special," he said. "In all of this emptiness, this is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe, you have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together."

"We have a sin nature, and we need Jesus," Glover said. "Jesus is that bridge that spans sin and gives us a chance of going to Heaven."
