NASA's Artemis II crew returned to Earth on Friday, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean west of San Diego after a 10-day journey that circled the moon. Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen emerged healthy from the Orion capsule named Integrity. The mission marked several historic firsts and set a new record for human distance from Earth.
NASA has completed initial evaluations of the Artemis II mission systems following the crew's safe return from a lunar flyby earlier this month. The Orion spacecraft and SLS rocket performed as expected, setting a new record for the farthest distance traveled from Earth. Minor issues arose with the toilet system, but the crew resolved them successfully.

David Menkin, who voices Hugh in Capcom's Pragmata, avoided posting about NASA's Artemis II crew due to concerns over his nondisclosure agreement. In an interview, he explained his hesitation stemmed from the game's moon setting. Menkin shared these details amid excitement for the recently released sci-fi title.
NASA's Artemis II astronauts have surpassed the halfway point to the Moon following Wednesday's translunar injection burn, continuing smooth progress on the historic 10-day mission—the first crewed trip beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17. The crew is on track for a lunar far-side flyby tomorrow and observations on April 6.

NASA's Artemis II crew, aboard the Orion spacecraft named Integrity, has successfully departed Earth's orbit and is heading toward the Moon after a key engine burn. The astronauts reported no major issues, shared stunning photos of Earth, and spoke with family and media. The mission remains on track for a closest approach to the Moon on Monday and splashdown on April 10.
NASA has set March 6 as the earliest possible launch date for the Artemis II mission following a successful second fueling test of its Space Launch System rocket. The test at Kennedy Space Center resolved issues from an earlier attempt marred by a hydrogen leak. The mission will send four astronauts around the Moon in a crewed test of the Orion spacecraft.

NASA has begun a critical two-day wet dress rehearsal for the Artemis II mission at Kennedy Space Center, simulating launch procedures without engine ignition. The test involves loading the Space Launch System rocket with over 700,000 gallons of propellant and could pave the way for a crewed launch as early as February 8. This marks preparation for the first human trip beyond low Earth orbit since 1972.
