Artemis II Crew Returns Home

Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen were welcomed back by cheering crowds and emotional family reunions.

The mission, which marked the first human voyage to the vicinity of the moon in over half a century, has been hailed as a major success for the agency.

NASA officials are currently investigating discoloration on the Orion capsule's heat shield, though initial assessments indicate it performed exceptionally well.

The crew is scheduled to hold a post-flight news conference on Thursday to share their experiences.
