Artemis astronauts return, splash down into Pacific Ocean

NASA's Artemis II spacecraft successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 10, 2026, carrying four astronauts: Christina Koch, Victor Glover, Jeremy Hansen, and Reid Wiseman. After their return, they will be met by recovery teams and flown to a US military ship for medical evaluations. The mission has been clouded by misinformation, including claims that the flight was staged in a studio, fueling conspiracy theories about NASA's lunar missions.
