After looping around the Moon, the crew of Artemis II made their return the only way space allows, by turning into a brief, very expensive shooting star.

Reentry hits at about 25,000 mph, wrapped in a fiery glow, and then comes the real challenge... gravity. After days of floating, walking suddenly feels like a bad idea. Legs forget their job. Balance disappears. It’s less “heroic return” and more “baby deer, but in a spacesuit.”

And yet, the landing looks calm. A gentle splash. Boats pull up. Smiles all around. Like they just got back from a weekend cruise… that happened to orbit the Moon.

No celebration tour. No long break. Just welcome back...now let’s go do it again!

This is just the beginning. Moon Base to come. The goal is 80 trips to the moon a year as a mining site for prescious metals and such. It will change the world economy and why this is the new space race with China to settle on the moon.
