The Artemis II astronauts were all smiles on the flight deck of USS John P. Murtha after they were extracted from their Orion spacecraft after splashdown.
Artemis II chief astronaut Reid Weisman gave a shoutout to the state of Maryland and his alma mater, Dulaney High School, after Sen. Chris Van Hollen asked a question during a call with the crew of the spacecraft heading back toward Earth.
"Lots of love," Weisman said about the state of Maryland before offering his advice to students at Dulaney and across the country.

I’ve watched the Ravens have 6 different offensive coordinators and 6 different defensive coordinators under JOHN HARBAUGH.
Y’all outta your damn mind tryna tell me it’s a OC/DC problem. It’s numerically impossible for every single one of those coaches to do the same exact things that makes this team lose big games.
Trump's pledge to "take over" Gaza offered a rare opportunity to hear an American president articulate the logic of Zionism in its rawest, most essential form. The history of Israel is defined by a continuous process of controlling and removing the Palestinian population by force, with the consent and participation of the majority of its Jewish citizens, in order to demographically engineer a Herrenvolk pseudo-democracy. Now, Trump has vowed to carry out the Final Solution on Israel's behalf, and possibly with US troops. Israelis love his genocidal energy, with 80% telling the Jerusalem Post they favor Trump's plan, and only 13% declaring it "immoral." Average Americans might be less enthusiastic about embarking on a foreign ethnic cleansing adventure, but as this episode makes undeniably clear, they are not the ones who determine their government's policy when it comes to the "Jewish and democratic" state.
