It makes me wonder how many active members on this forum who think this moon expedition is fake also believe the Moon landing was faked and that the Earth is flat. It would be interesting to run a poll where everyone who believes this is fake, as well as those who are unsure, could answer.

Being skeptical is healthy, but there is a limit to how far the craziness goes.

Best ask the YANKs about craziness !!! they are the experts in that field !!!

Just been looking at the photos tske from rhe dark side of the moon....and it looks like the hoaxers were right!

Firstly, it was dark!

Secondly everyone knows that the earth is bigger than the moon but in those photos it wasn't!!

Wrong century mate.

Nah Elon is Nazi he's revivbed the Nazi rocket meme. And Nixon was an anti-semite. So it all checks out.

Did anyone of our members get to see the obligatory presidential call to the astronauts?It was gold!!theres trump trying to take credit for their heroism doing his regular nonsense and the crew are all in frame grinning and spinning the microphone lol for a full minute they didn’t answer just grinned and spun the microphone!!!gawd it was EPIC!!then after a full minute of silence they asked for a comm check and there was Donnie answering up!!lmao hook line and sinker…….now there was a cosmic burn!!!they are truly hero’s!

It's a good shield perhaps better than the 'Iron dome' ?

Are we too late for this now?

Seeing as they launched on April 1st it would seem fitting. 👍

And they made it back safe and sound this morning.

Artemis II Crew Returns to Earth After Completing 10-Day Mission Around the Moon

The crew of NASA’s Artemis II mission has returned safely to Earth after completing a historic journey around the Moon, marking a key step in the United States’ effort to send astronauts back to the lunar surface.

The four astronauts splashed down in the Pacific Ocean at 8:07 p.m. ET on Friday, concluding a 10-day mission that carried them more than 695,000 miles through space.

Mission controllers described the landing as a “textbook” splashdown.

Launch and mission objectives

The mission began on April 1, when the Artemis II spacecraft lifted off at 6:35 p.m. ET from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The flight was designed as a lunar fly-by, sending the crew on a long arc around the Moon before returning them to Earth without landing on the lunar surface.

The mission is part of NASA’s Artemis programme, which aims to establish a sustained human presence on and around the Moon and eventually support future missions to Mars.

During the flight, the crew travelled a total distance of 695,081 miles, circling the Moon before beginning their return journey to Earth.

Journey around the Moon

Artemis II is the first crewed mission in the Artemis programme and the first time astronauts have travelled around the Moon in decades.

The spacecraft passed behind the Moon during the fly-by, temporarily losing direct communication with Earth before re-emerging on the far side.

The mission allowed NASA to test key systems needed for future lunar missions, including the spacecraft’s life-support systems, navigation capabilities and re-entry procedures.

The data collected during the flight will be used to prepare for later missions that are intended to land astronauts on the lunar surface.

Splashdown and recovery

After re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, the spacecraft deployed parachutes before descending into the Pacific Ocean.

Recovery teams were waiting nearby to secure the capsule and assist the astronauts following their return from space.

Officials described the landing as smooth and precisely timed, indicating that the spacecraft’s systems performed as expected throughout the final stage of the mission.

The successful splashdown brings the Artemis II mission to a close and provides NASA with critical information for the next phases of its lunar exploration plans.

Next steps in the Artemis programme

Artemis II is considered a major milestone for NASA’s long-term exploration strategy.

The mission builds on earlier uncrewed test flights and helps demonstrate that astronauts can safely travel around the Moon using the Artemis system.

Future Artemis missions are expected to attempt lunar landings and expand human activity on and around the Moon as part of broader international efforts to explore deep space.
