The 10-day lunar flyby was the first domino of NASA’s international movement to go back to the moon and establish a base before communist China.

All four astronauts were relatively unaware of the impact their mission had on the world until they got home.

Jacob Richardson, Artemis II’s deputy lunar science lead, told The Epoch Times the crew began considering name-worthy lunar features weeks before launch.

Mission leaders celebrated the successful moonshot and look forward to gathering all of the flight data in preparation for Artemis III.

They also touted American space efforts as a constant for bipartisan cooperation.

All four crew members were reported to be in great health by medical staff.

As essentially a man-made meteor, the Orion spacecraft Integrity will reach speeds nearing 24,000 mph as it streaks through the atmosphere.

Preparations are underway for the record-breaking spacecraft to splash down in the Pacific Ocean shortly after 8 p.m. ET on April 10.

The world, meanwhile, awaits enthralled with the pictures being released.

The largest crew to ever fly beyond low Earth orbit went farther from our planet than ever before.
