Can you imagine that? They’ve just experienced something nobody has before, and they are about to splash down. Four people get to have the party of a lifetime in the coming days.
Safe return.

Absolutely unreal. I'm very envious. These guys are heroes for the rest of their lives.Can you imagine that? They’ve just experienced something nobody has before, and they are about to splash down. Four people get to have the party of a lifetime in the coming days.
Safe return.
What time ?
Just over an hour to go I believe, my initial thoughts are that the timings will be more punctual than an uber and less dragged out than a Mike Tyson fight.
Fingers crossed everyone gets back safe.

Born 1972, science has played a big part in my life, this is amazing. Anyone watching the live feed on YouTube? You can see the earth getting closer and closer. Awesome!I went on a school cruise around the Baltic, including St.Petersburg (then Leningrad)and Moscow, and the day after we returned to school we witnessed Neil Armstrong make that small step onto the Moon. So for me this Artemis is a little underwhelming, but understand how amazing it must be for people who were born after 1969.

Sorry, meant to reply. Yes, it is (along with launch), just because of the sheer number of things that can go wrong.Read this a lot and was curious, is is true that re-entry is the most dangerous part of the mission?
Speed, angles, weather, heat. All things that have to be monitored and overcome simultaneously. So yeah, it's absolutely one of if not the most dangerous part.

They can't eat coco pops, because they don't believe in bowls. Flat plate theory innit.Shout out to to the flat earth loons, the CGI loons and all who say this isn’t real.

1 in 20 chance the heat shields could fail on re-entry.
I doubt it will occur and they'll be in the drink in around an hour safe and sound.

Erin Burnett on CNN has got even more attractive the way she's nerding out about the landing. She even drew the landing trajectory on a white board.

Can't even imagine what's going through their families minds now as they approach 24000 mph speed and heat of 1600c . Gonna be a tense 40 minutes for them but all looks good so far
