NASA’s Artemis II crew splashed down at 8:07 p.m. ET in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, capping a historic 10-day mission that sent astronauts farther from Earth than any humans have ever traveled. 

The four-person crew, which included three NASA astronauts and a Canadian Space Agency astronaut, with the first woman and first Black astronauts assigned to a lunar mission, orbited the moon and returned to Earth safely aboard the Orion spacecraft.
