After a week-and-a-half journey to and around the Moon, the Artemis II crew splashed back to Earth off the coast of San Diego at 5:07 p.m. local time (8:07 p.m. ET) on 10 April. “From the pages of Jules Vernes to a modern day mission to the Moon, a new chapter in the exploration of our celestial neighbor is complete,” said a NASA announcer as the astronauts splashed down.
