"The spacecraft reached blistering speeds of up to 25,000 miles per hour before making its 'bullseye' landing off the coast of San Diego, California at 8.07pm ET."
"While a couple of the astronauts appeared to lean more heavily on the support than others, no wheelchair was required and one even walked unaided, waving triumphantly at staff on the ship."
"The longer someone spends in space, the harder it is for their brain to readapt to gravity upon their return to Earth."
The Artemis II mission concluded with a successful splashdown in the Pacific Ocean after a ten-day journey around the moon. The crew, consisting of NASA astronauts and a Canadian astronaut, experienced challenges walking upon their return due to the effects of microgravity. Despite some unsteadiness, all crew members managed to walk under their own power, unlike previous missions where astronauts required assistance. NASA officials deemed the mission a total success, achieving the planned landing location off the coast of San Diego.
