All four of the Artemis II astronauts have been successfully extracted from the Orion spacecraft following splashdown and are now on the USS John P. Murtha. Next up, they will be escorted to the medical bay where they will undergo post-mission medical evaluations.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder…it didn’t take 219,669 miles to remind me how much love I have for Ellie and Katey. They have been incredible supporters during this journey, and they now fully understand why it was important for me to go explore into the unknown.
@astro_reid Been following your journey since I was 15. I’m 25 now and an aircraft technician & pilot! Thank you for always inspiring me, I’m so excited for you all!! 😇

Today, we honor the heroes of our program who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of exploration.
Safety remains our cornerstone as their courage continues to inspire our journey to the stars. #NASARemembers
