Artemis III crew to be named 'soon;' Integrity astronauts 'happy, healthy' after landing, NASA says

At a press conference about the Orion spacecraft's return to Earth from the moon, NASA officials discussed the crew for the next voyage.

The Artemis II splashdown amidst its reentry, which happened in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego at 8:07 p.m. EDT / 5:07 p.m. PT, followed a harrowing and dangerous reentry, where NASA astronauts Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, as well as the Canadian Space Agency's Jeremy Hansen, traveled at speeds up to 25,000 mph ‒ possibly faster than humans have ever traveled.
