Artemis Two Crew Splashdown: Lunar Milestone

0:00Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen and his three American crewmates are wrapping up the Artemis II mission with a splashdown tonight in the Pacific. Ocean off San Diego. They're hurtling back at 38,000 kilometers an hour inside the Orion spacecraft after a groundbreaking trip. Earlier this week, the crew swung around the moon in a six-hour flyby, pushing farther into deep space than any humans ever before. This ten-day journey marks the closest look at the moon since the Apollo days back in the 1960s and 70s, firing up a fresh wave of lunar excitement worldwide. After they hit the water, crews on the USS John P. Murtha will check them out medically, then it's a quick hop to Johnson Space Center in Houston too. Kick off the next steps in NASA's Moon Comeback.
