Artemis moonship returns to Earth with picture-perfect Pacific Ocean splashdown
The successful return to Earth marks a major milestone in NASA's plans to return astronauts to the surface of the moon.
www.cbsnews.comI don’t have live access to current news in this moment, but Artemis I landings occurred as follows: the Orion capsule splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California, Mexico, on December 11, 2022, after its uncrewed around-the-moon mission. NASA subsequently confirmed the landing location as a Pacific splashdown about 200 miles west of Baja California, near Guadalupe Island, with recovery teams deployed to secure the capsule. If you’d like, I can pull the latest updates from authoritative sources and provide direct links.[2][3]
