Artemis II Astronauts Share Moon Journey

Commander Reid Wiseman and his team are still adjusting to life on Earth after traveling farther from the planet than any humans in history.

The mission's success has validated the Orion capsule's heat shield technology, which Wiseman said held up 'incredibly well' during the scorching re-entry.

NASA officials confirmed that the health of the four astronauts continues to be closely monitored as they recover from the physical toll of deep space travel.

The mission marks a critical milestone in the Artemis program's goal of establishing a permanent human presence on the lunar surface.
