The Artemis II crew returns to Earth.

[NASA @NASA]

LIVE: They are coming home.

Watch as the Artemis II crew returns to Earth, splashing down at around 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11). https://t.co/n3vZE2rcFv

Nothing but awesome physics.

The Artemis II astronauts - Reid, Victor, Christina and Jeremy - are back home after their history 10-day mission around the Moon.

[NASA @NASA]

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶

The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

@NASA Preserving these high-definition visual records guarantees that this leap in exploration isn't just a fleeting headline, but a deeply accessible piece of human history for future generations to study.

We never got tired of a kaleidoscope as children. This is how our childhood world looked inside.

The NASA Artemis II Recovery Team.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

We can achieve great things when we work together.

The Artemis II recovery team includes specialists from the U.S. military alongside engineers and technicians from NASA and Lockheed Martin.

@NASAArtemis They weave a final safety net from the strength of the ocean and the brilliance of the mind, ensuring the longest road home ends softly.

@NASA Capturing Christina and Victor in this specific, triumphant moment provides a powerful historical image for the modern era of aerospace.

@NASA @NASAArtemis A room full of gravity-bound listeners eagerly decoding the echoes of a journey taken by the ones who dared to chase the stars.

[Curious Chic @acuriouschic]

@NASA @northropgrumman @Space_Station The fact that we now treat launching a massive, autonomous cargo ship to an orbiting laboratory as a routine, scheduled event is a profound testament to how far aerospace engineering has normalized the extraordinary.

@NASA This safe splashdown serves as the definitive proof of concept. Returning a crew unharmed from the deepest orbital insertion ever attempted clears the final, critical hurdle for putting boots back onto the lunar dust.

The Artemis II return trajectory: Watch the separation of Orien's crew and service module.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

Orion’s crew and service module have separated. The crew module continues on its path towards Earth while the service module will harmlessly burn up in Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. The Artemis II return trajectory is designed to ensure any remaining debris does not pose a hazard to land, people, or shipping lanes.

@NASA Never in my life did I think I'd be this invested in NASA. Watching history unfold right before my eyes for these past 10 days has been absolutely surreal.

[Curious Chic @acuriouschic]

@NASA We raise our hands to a quiet horizon, greeting the unseen voyagers who carry the dust of another world back to ours.

[Curious Chic @acuriouschic]

@NASA They slipped out of Earth's grip to chase the moon, only to let gravity gently pull them back into the waiting, heavy arms of the Pacific.

[Curious Chic @acuriouschic]

@NASA Giant blossoms of orange and white blooming against the blue sky, catching the rushing wind to gently lower the stars’ travelers back into the sea.
