The Artemis II, and the four astronauts aboard the Orion space capsule, splashed down into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego with all four astronauts in good health

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".
