What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.
BREAKING: "It is so great to hear from Earth again."
The Artemis II crew have regained communication with NASA's Mission Control, following the planned blackout after flying around the far side of the moon.
