The four astronauts of the Artemis II mission successfully returned from the moon with a splashdown in the Pacific ocean on Friday (local time) off the coast of California, completing their 10-day journey in the space, said the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This was humanity’s first crewed mission to the moon’s neighbourhood since Apollo 17.
“Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy!” said NASA in a post on X (previously Twitter), while also sharing a video of the splashdown. “The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.”
