Artemis II crew returns home

Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen shared their first public remarks at a jubilant homecoming event, describing Earth as a 'lifeboat hanging in the universe.' The 10-day mission took humans farther from Earth than ever before, marking a critical milestone in the effort to return humans to the lunar surface.

NASA is now looking ahead to Artemis III, which will involve docking maneuvers in Earth's orbit and a planned lunar landing.

The success of Artemis II has been hailed as a triumph for space exploration and international cooperation.
