Artemis crew describes Moon mission and splashdown moment

The Artemis crew held their first press conference after completing a historic 10-day mission around the Moon.

Nasa astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, shared details of their experience with reporters.

On 1 April, the crew blasted off Nasa’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida and travelled beyond the far side of the Moon. The goal of the Artemis missions is to eventually return humans to the lunar surface, to establish a permanent presence there, and to send the first astronauts to Mars
