NASA’s four Artemis II astronauts return to Earth after a historic moon mission, with Orion set for Pacific splashdown shortly after 8 p.m. ET.

On Wednesday, two days after their moon flyby, the crew of the Artemis II mission settled in for a day of preparation to return to Earth.

The four astronauts said they were returning to Earth with "so many more pictures, so many more stories".

The astronauts are set to splash down off the coast of San Diego, California
