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.

The four Artemis II astronauts splashed down last Friday, capping a nearly 10-day test flight in which they reached the farthest distance in space any humans have gone.
