This is what it looked like to be first on scene at the Artemis II splashdown site! From the perspective of the recovery team, witness the moment NASA’s Orion spacecraft is reached and secured after its historic Artemis II splashdown; following a nearly 700,000 mile journey around the Moon.
It’s raw, It’s real, and it’s a perspective few ever get to experience.
A powerful reminder that every mission doesn’t end at splashdown —
it ends when the crew is safely home.
