An elated NASA late April 10 was celebrating its successful voyage around the Moon, after four astronauts safely returned to Earth having completed the first lunar flyby in more than 50 years. The NASA spacecraft carrying four astronauts -- three Americans and one Canadian -- splashed down without a hitch off the California coast, capping the US space agency's crewed test mission that returned with spectacular images of the Moon.

VIDEO: It’s hard to believe the Artemis II mission successfully wrapped up almost a week ago. The crew has been undergoing rigorous medical testing, participating in meetings with NASA officials and catching up on some much needed sleep. On Thursday, the four astronauts held a news conference to provide an update on their journey. It’s been a busy six days for the Artemis crew. In Thursday’s update, rather than discussing their scientific research, the astronauts reflected on the most memorable parts of the mission and what it’s meant to them to see how engaged the world has been in their journey.
