Artemis II’s record-setting deep-space mission stuck the landing.
[/td][td]
NASA’s Orion spacecraft—dubbed Integrity by its crew—splashed down Friday evening off the coast of San Diego, with Mission Control calling it “a perfect bullseye splashdown” (watch the landing). Commander Reid Wiseman radioed that all four astronauts were in good shape, reporting “four green crewmembers” upon touchdown.

Re-entry was especially high-stakes: Orion’s heat shield had known design flaws, but the crew emerged safe and in high spirits. NASA officials were emphatic that the lunar success was no accident—Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya credited “1,000 people doing their job.” It’s also the first crewed NASA mission recovered by the Navy since Apollo-Soyuz in 1975. With the mission complete, Kshatriya said “the path to the surface is now open” for a future lunar landing.

No matter how far humanity travels, we only scratch the surface of exploring all of what God spoke into existence. The Artemis II crew journeyed farther from Earth than any human in history… and still never left His handiwork.
