US Astronaut Space Ship Makes Safe Return To Earth

The US Space Agency NASA has brought back to earth its next-generation astronaut ship after a near-26-day mission to orbit the moon.

The Orion capsule splashed down in the pacific ocean after a fiery re-entry into earth’s atmosphere and a descent that was further slowed by parachutes.

Because this was a test, there were no people aboard this time, but that will change for the next flight.

NASA is planning ever more complex missions with Orion.

These will likely start in late 2024 and include, in 2025 or 2026, an attempt to put humans back on the lunar surface.

This was last achieved exactly 50 years ago to the day by the crew of Apollo 17.

The agency’s new project is called Artemis, who in Greek mythology was the sister of Apollo.
