Artemis II crew returns home

Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen shared their experiences of seeing the lunar far side during a jubilant homecoming event.

The mission's success paves the way for Artemis III, which will attempt to dock Orion with a lunar lander in Earth orbit next year.

NASA officials described the flight as a 'galactic-sized smash' that has reignited global interest in lunar exploration.

The crew emphasized the fragility of Earth as seen from deep space, calling it a 'lifeboat hanging in the universe.'
