Episode Details

Artemis II crew returns to Kennedy Space Center, reuniting with their Orion capsule after a record-breaking lunar flyby—252,756 miles from Earth, the farthest humans have traveled in over 50 years. Commander Reid Wiseman reflected on the quiet launchpad and thanked the teams that made the mission possible. Christina Koch, the first woman to orbit the moon on this mission, emphasized NASA’s commitment to merit over gender in future crew selections. Pilot Victor Glover and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, who’s stepping down from CSA in September but staying on as a Royal Canadian Air Force reservist, helped make history. This return marks a pivotal step in the ongoing Artemis program, pushing humanity’s reach further than ever before.
