Integrity, the space capsule used in the Artemis II Moon mission, splashed down successfully in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego at 5-07 p.m. PT. The nine-day-plus mission marked the return of the United States to its historic space program that put the first men on the Moon.
History will no doubt overlook the fact that it was Donald J. Trump, as 45th president of the United States, who got the space program going again, and by space program, I mean sending vehicles and people beyond earth’s atmosphere, which hadn’t been done since 1972 for stupid political reasons (are you listening, Demofiends?).
Anyway, congratulations to everyone at NASA and to the four brave astronauts for accomplishing this historic endeavor. Let’s go — back to the moon, and this time to settle there.
