CONGRATULATIONS, ARTEMIS II! Mission Accomplished! 🚀
We celebrate a historic milestone as the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years has successfully concluded with a splashdown. A massive congratulations to the brave crew: Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen (CSA).
Together, they pushed the boundaries of human exploration, setting a new deep space record for human flight at 252,760 miles from Earth. From the critical launch on April 1st to the breathtaking lunar flyby on April 6th and today's splashdown, every step of this journey has paved the way for future generations.
This is not an end, but a beginning. Looking ahead, we are focused on Artemis III and returning humans to the lunar surface. Next stop: Mars! 🪐
A monumental thank you to the entire team at NASA and the Canadian Space Agency.
