Artemis II Crew Returns Home

Commander Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen were greeted with a hero's welcome at Ellington Field following their successful Pacific Ocean splashdown.

The crew expressed profound gratitude for the 'lifeboat' of Earth and noted that the mission tested the Orion spacecraft's resilience for future deep-space endeavors.

NASA officials hailed the flight as a record-breaking achievement that paves the way for a permanent human presence on the lunar surface.

The astronauts will now undergo extensive medical evaluations and debriefings to share insights from their orbital journey.
