00:00The four Artemis II astronauts, Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Cook, and Canadian Jeremy Hansen are headed for a Pacific
00:07Ocean splashdown off of San Diego on Friday evening after completing the first crewed moon voyage in more than 50
00:14years.
00:15The crew reached a record distance of 252,756 miles from Earth and made history with the first black astronaut,
00:24first woman, and first non-U.S. citizen to participate in a lunar mission.
00:29The 10-day mission, which launched April 1st from Cape Canaveral atop NASA's Space Launch System rocket, served as a
00:36critical dress rehearsal for a planned lunar landing later this decade and as part of the broader Artemis program aimed
00:43at establishing a long-term moon presence as a stepping stone to Mars.
