Artemis II crew returns to Earth after 10-day record-breaking lunar mission

VIDEO: The Artemis II crew’s return to Earth comes after a 10-day record-breaking voyage and lunar flyby. This last phase of the mission, re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere, is considered one of the more precarious parts of any flight to space. While it’s the end of the Artemis II mission, it’s just the beginning of the broader Artemis program which aims to land astronauts on the moon in 2028. That’s why the research collected by the four astronauts on this 10-day mission is so important.
