After their historic journey around the Moon, the Artemis II astronauts are coming home. Watch as they arrive in Houston, Texas, home to NASA's Johnson Space Center.NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 10, 2026, concluding the Artemis II mission. The crew accomplished many milestones on their 10-day mission, surpassing the Apollo 13 record for farthest crewed spaceflight and observing the lunar surface like never before, capturing iconic views.Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.See imagery captured from the mission: https://www.nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimedia/Credit: NASA...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYY4nnfxKbU

“You are special, in all of this emptiness. This is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe.

Homeward bound 🌎 Artemis II astronauts have flown around the Moon traveling 252,756 miles from Earth—farther than any other humans. They observed the lunar surface like never before, capturing iconic views. Now, they’re coming home. The crew will splash down in the Pacific Ocean on Friday, April 10, around 8:07 p.m. EDT (0007 UTC April 11).

Experience a historic moment in human spaceflight: the first-ever ship-to-ship call between astronauts on a deep space mission and astronauts aboard the International Space Station. The Artemis II crew — NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen — connected with Expedition 74 astronauts Chris Williams, Jack Hathaway, Jessica Meir, and ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot.During the conversation, the ISS crew asked about life inside Orion and what it’s like to view the Moon up close. The Artemis II astronauts shared how training from the space station continues to shape their mission. Christina Koch, who completed spacewalks with Jessica Meir in 2020, reflected: “Every single thing that we learned on ISS is up here.”This edited video aligns audio and video and removes long pauses caused by the communications delay as signals traveled more than 232,000 miles between spacecraft. The 15‑minute call began at 2:40 p.m. EDT on April 7, 2026.Credit: NASA...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfmG9qmZn6Y

Witness liftoff of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, captured in infrared. On April 1, 2026, at 6:35 p.m. EDT, the SLS lifted off from Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center carrying the crew of Artemis II: Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen.Artemis II is the first crewed flight test of the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft, testing the technologies we'll need for long-term lunar exploration and human missions to Mars. After lifting off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the Artemis II astronauts are currently journeying around the Moon and back in their Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, on an approximately 10-day mission.Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.Credit: NASA...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMVaZJcREQ8
