After 10 days in space, skirting the moon, the Artemis II mission returned to Earth. The Orion capsule completed its descent and splashed down at about 8:07 p.m. PT in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, California.

"Houston, we are receiving them loud and clear. We are stable," said Commander Reis Wiseman, Artemis II mission leader, after splashdown. "What a ride!"

With the task completed, the United States returned to manned deep-space exploration.
