Artemis II astronauts are hours from returning to Earth after shattering a record that has stood since 1972. The crew reached 248,655 miles from Earth — the farthest humans have ever traveled — and are now on their final descent toward splashdown off San Diego.
The four astronauts launched in November 2025 on humanity’s first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years. Since then, they’ve orbited the Moon, captured unprecedented imagery, and proved that NASA’s return-to-Moon program is not theoretical — it’s happening.
Splashdown is scheduled for 8:07 PM EDT tomorrow, April 10, off the coast of San Diego. NASA will broadcast the event live across all official channels.
This mission ends a 54-year drought of human lunar travel since Apollo 17. Artemis II doesn’t just replicate history — it rewrites it. The next step, Artemis III, aims to land astronauts on the lunar surface.
Stay tuned. History is coming home.
