Artemis II Crew Returns Home

NASA is celebrating a perfect conclusion to the Artemis II mission, the first crewed lunar flight in over 50 years.

Astronauts Jeremy Hansen, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch are currently undergoing medical evaluations as they adjust to life back on Earth.

The mission's success marks a critical milestone in the agency's plan to establish a permanent moon base and eventually send humans to Mars.

Engineers are now racing to analyze the spacecraft's heat shield performance to ensure the safety of future missions in the lunar relay race.
