SPTHE SURVIVOR: UP CLOSE WITH ORION AFTER 1.4 MILLION MILES 🌊🛰️
This is what a spacecraft looks like after surviving a 25,000 mph reentry and temperatures of 5,000°F. This close-up footage shows the Orion crew module "Integrity" being towed toward the USS John P. Murtha after the successful extraction of the Artemis II crew. You can see the "battle scars" on the heat shield and hull—marks of a historic 10-day journey that took humanity further into space than ever before.
As of today, April 10, 2026, the module is being secured for transport back to San Diego. While the spacecraft is being recovered, the crew—Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen—are already onboard the recovery ship in great spirits, undergoing their first medical evaluations. This capsule didn't just carry four astronauts; it carried the dreams of the ArtemisGeneration to the Moon and back.
The mission is a total success. We have tested the systems, broken the records, and now we prepare for the next step: standing on the lunar surface. 🧑🚀🌖
