Who was the first black man on the Moon?

Published in Space Exploration 1 min read

No Black man has ever walked on the Moon.

While the question is straightforward, it's crucial to acknowledge the historical context. To date, all individuals who have walked on the Moon have been white men. However, NASA's Artemis program aims to change that.

Currently, Victor Glover is slated to be the first Black astronaut to travel around the Moon, as part of the Artemis II mission. This mission will orbit the Moon and return to Earth, but will not include a lunar landing. It is a significant step toward future lunar missions that may include Black astronauts walking on the lunar surface.

Therefore, answering the question directly: as of today, there has been no Black man on the Moon.
