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.
Eyes peeled in the cupola awaiting the safe return of our @NASAArtemis friends. Our trajectory on @Space_Station will be passing nearby over the Pacific, so we hope to catch a glimpse!
It's hard to put these last few weeks into words. I’ve been with the Artemis II crew as their PAO since they were assigned. Watching the world fall in love with them as they journey around the Moon and back... Nothing compares! 🚀
For the first time in over 50 years, humans are Moonbound.
At 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC) NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft lifted off from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending four astronauts on a planned test flight around the Moon and back. https://t.co/0Q9ZB4IWVI
