    My dad and I just got done watching this live about 20 minutes ago. I’m glad the astronauts of Artemis 2 made it back safely.

      It is pretty cool

    This mission was wonderful to witness and I am glad to say I saw it.

    This is amazing. Technology know no boundries. Well done

      It is certainly limited in a sense. What you see in Star Trek will never happen.

    Why is the heat shield so shiny in the separation video we could see it shiny

    the really need to work on the recovery from the ocean part, almost 3 hours! the russians landing in the desert do the retrieval like in 15 minutes.

    What’s the reason for the astronauts to be hoisted to the helicopter instead of being carried by boat to the aircraft carrier? 🤔

    • @thepacific2933

      April 11, 2026 at 9:43 am

      To cause less strain on the astronauts. 10 days without gravity and high impact is very stressful. If you watch the boat footage, they struggle a bit while walking also.

    • @lemovision

      April 11, 2026 at 12:42 pm

      @thepacific2933 Dangling from a helicopter rope looks more stressful than a chill boat ride also I’m confused

    • @barrymccaulkiner7092

      April 11, 2026 at 3:50 pm

      I’d think skipping the whole inflatable dinghy procedure would save a ton of time by having the recovery ship perform the extraction, instead. In fact the large ships are already used to hoist the capsule aboard anyway.

      So just hoist the capsule up directly onto the ship then perform the crew extraction. Done . No need for the 2 helicopters, the dinghies, the front porch, the inflatable stabilizers, etc…

      But I guess all those people need jobs.

      Or maybe they’re trying to stick with tradition?

    I can’t imagine what it was like on their bodies as they took off under high g, immediately went to weightlessness for 9 days and the violence of reentry. Victor looked like he came out the most able to walk on his own.

    wheres the spaceship?

    What an amazing achievement! And this is only the beginning.
