Artemis II Crew Returns to Earth in Emotional Welcome Footage
Footage released late Monday shows the Artemis II crew—Commander Reid Wiseman, Mission Specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen, and Pilot Victor Glover—being greeted by the recovery team after a Pacific splashdown, capturing the moment they returned from a 10-day, nearly 700,000-mile lunar voyage. The crew celebrated with fist bumps and handshakes as they reentered the Orion capsule, then addressed reporters at Ellington Field in Houston.
