Looking forward to Artemis 2 astronauts safe return #NASA

NASA successfully launched Artemis 2, its first astronaut mission to the moon since 1972 on April 1. The mission sent four astronauts on a 10-day trip around the moon aboard the Orion spacecraft which travel further from earth than any human has ever traveled.
On Friday evening, the spacecraft will reenter the earth atmosphere and splash down off the coast of California. The mission restarts manned space flights to the Moon and an eventual landing in 2028. It’s a very exciting time to be alive … just as it was for “those of us who were around” during the Apollo space program.
