NASA's Artemis II moonship returns home to its launch site after historic voyage
NASA's Artemis II moonship has returned to its launch site in Florida after a historic mission that took astronauts around the moon. The Orion capsule, which splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 10, was transported back to Kennedy Space Center for further examination. This mission marked humanity's first lunar trip in over fifty years, with plans for Artemis III already underway.
