Artemis II's moon-traveling astronauts are back home and feted to a thunderous welcome. Still marveling over their record-breaking lunar fly-around, the crew of four flew to Houston's Ellington Field from San Diego on Saturday afternoon. After a quick reunion with their families, the astronauts took the stage, surrounded by hundreds who took part in NASA's historic lunar comeback. The three Americans and one Canadian splashed down in the Pacific on Friday. During their nearly 10-day mission, they voyaged deeper into space than the Apollo explorers decades ago and captured views of the lunar far side never witnessed before by human eyes.
