The Artemis II Space mission, watched by the entire Сivilized World, is successfully completed!
NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen splashed down at 5:07 PM PDT Friday off the coast of San Diego, completing a nearly 10-day journey 252,756 miles from home. This is the farthest distance from Earth humans have ever reached.
The fact that this grand event took place on the eve of the Cosmonautics Day is specially significant, as this date commemorates the first human flight into Space, when the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin made his first orbital flight around the Earth.
