Let's run that back. One more time... Or two? Our crew is now safely back on Earth. Relive the historic mission, and keep an eye on our website as more images and videos keep rolling in.

Reid Wiseman lost his wife, Carroll Taylor Wiseman to cancer in 2020, Reid Wiseman raised their two daughters, Ellie and Katherine, as a single parent. He has described this as his greatest challenge and the most rewarding phase of his life. Bro is the real man.

Forget Marvel....this is a real Fantastic Four

"DIN-DIN" TOUMBA'S FAMILY CELEBRATES THE ASTRONAUTS' RETURN TO EARTH🌏🌎🌍🌎@grok

Our very own space cowboys and cowgirl, let's not forget space mascot rise😌, round of applause👏, looking good guys💯

Still can’t believe it actually happened. Four humans went around the Moon, saw the Earth rise in person, floated through an Earthshine eclipse, and made it safely home. Thank you Artemis II crew, Reid, Victor, Christina, Jeremy. What a time to be alive. And yes @NASA run it back as many times as you want. We’re still not over it. ❤ 🌎 🙂

We need the names of All the mathematicians and physicists that participated in the project..they deserved recognitions too.

Welcome back heroes…. Your names are forever in the history books

Math is insane 🔥 NASA predicted Artemis II splashdown at exactly 8:07 PM EST… and it happened right on the minute! Orbital mechanics don’t miss. #ArtemisII #NASA #Splashdown .

Welcome back to earth, trust your finding will bring solutions and way out the some life's challenges

NASA HR: 'Welcome back! Please complete your expense report for 384,000 km of travel.'

Think of the heat shield as a sacrificial skin shedding under the weight of five thousand degrees of friction. Most believe the return is the easiest phase, yet it remains the most violent transition in known physics.

Y’all aren’t ready for the wave of kids coming who would be named “Artemis”, and after the names of each of the astronauts!

Ivy over and out 🩷 thank you nasa for making this so public and inspiring our next generation of astronauts 🩷(and women in stem ofc 😉)

Welcome home, Artemis II! 🌊🚀

🚀 What a historic homecoming! Congratulations to the incredible Artemis II crew Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen for safely returning after that record-breaking 10-day lunar flyby. Those views of the Moon’s far side and pushing farther into space than any humans since Apollo… absolutely breathtaking. This is more than a mission it’s the spark for the next era of deep space exploration. Can’t wait for Artemis III and those boots on the lunar surface! Huge thanks to the entire NASA team for making this possible. Humanity’s future in space just got a whole lot brighter. 🌕❤️ #ArtemisII #NASA #MoonToMars

All images from here

“NASA said ‘let’s run that back’ like it’s a replay button on YouTube 😂🚀 Meanwhile me: still can’t even replay my alarm properly in the morning 😭 These guys went to space and came back… and I’m still stuck hitting snooze!”

Welcome back to Earth …now let them rest before y’all send them back up again

April fools day.. In a craft shaped like a penis. They are laughing in your faces folks. They even call the craft "integrity". I look forward to the day you face criminal charges for fraud.

Watching that splashdown footage a second time still gives me chills, the precision of the re-entry after looping the far side feels like NASA quietly closing the Apollo chapter and opening the one where we actually start living up there. Can’t wait for the full image drop to see what the lunar terrain really looks like for Artemis III.

I still get baffled why anyone would call this mission a hoax…. As in why would NASA go ahead to fake all this? What would they lose if they didnt do the mission? Congratulations NASA on this key milestone. Now take us to Mars next. Hopefully someday we shall discover another civilisation

What an incredible achievement! A huge thank you and deep appreciation to the brave Artemis II crew Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen for their courage, professionalism, and for carrying humanity’s hopes farther into space than any humans.

Excellent job, and super happy everyone made it back safe. Also kudos to your social media team - fantastic updates and videos. Looking forward to more.

Heartfelt gratitude also goes to the thousands of dedicated engineers, scientists, technicians, mission controllers, and support teams at NASA and across partner organizations who poured years of expertise, innovation, and tireless effort into making this safe return possible.

Honestly, I’m not moving on from this anytime soon.

What a way to celebrate America 250! American greatness at its best! The Golden Age has begun! Thank you to the crew of Artemis II & all those who made this mission possible, reminding us of what that greatness truly looks like and what more there is for us to discover and explore.

A question; What are the next immediate steps for the team data downlink, analysis, inspections and what timeline should we expect for the first major post-mission findings? Well done to the entire team @NAS

Pretty sure I could watch this a 100 times and be just as nervous as I was watching live every time. It was fantastic. I’m 63 and I have so many memories of watching @NASA but this was the best. So much better than the black and white moon landing!! @NASA needs their own channel on my dish!!

Let’s run it back forever. Welcome home Artemis II legends Moon flyby done, history made. Can’t wait for those new pics to drop!

Enjoyed every moment of this mission, including the commemorative passport stamp for virtual attenders. Historic indeed!

I love to see how this little guy is doing
