Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen and his three American crewmates are on the homestretch of Artemis II’s historic trip to the moon.
NASA says the four-person crew and their Orion spacecraft are to splash down tonight in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of San Diego, Calif., travelling at a mind-boggling 38,000 kilometres an hour.
The astronauts looped the moon this week in a six-hour lunar flyby that took them farther into space than any humans before.
Their return marks the end of a 10-day mission that saw humans examine the moon up close for the first time since the Apollo flights of the 1960s and ’70s.
