Artemis II crew returns home after record-breaking lunar flyby
Artemis II's four astronauts were warmly welcomed home in Houston after nearly 10 days in space, completing a record-distance lunar flyby that reached about 252,756 miles from Earth and offered new views of the Moon's far side and Earth. The mission included an Earthset photo and a reminder of NASA's Artemis timeline, with Artemis III and IV planned next, while the crew noted a malfunctioning space toilet that will be fixed for longer missions.
