Artemis II splashdown: Astronauts home safely after journey around Moon

The four astronauts from NASA's Artemis II mission successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after a nine-day journey. Their spacecraft, Orion, reached speeds of over 24,000 mph and endured extreme temperatures during re-entry. Commander Reid Wiseman confirmed their safety after a six-minute loss of contact, and they were extracted from the capsule for medical evaluations aboard the USS John P Murtha.
