Artemis II Crew Splashes Down in Pacific After Historic Moon Mission

The Artemis II crew has successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, completing humanity's first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years. The four astronauts returned safely after a historic flyby of the moon that included distance records, stunning far-side imagery, and a viral Easter message from pilot Victor Glover. The mission's success paves the way for Artemis III, which aims to land astronauts on the lunar surface for the first time since Apollo 17.
