In a welcome contrast to the drumbeat of war, NASA released stunning new images from the Artemis II mission — the first crewed voyage toward the Moon in over five decades. Mission Commander Reid Wiseman was photographed gazing at Earth through the window of the Orion capsule, a moment the agency captioned simply: “Thinking of you, Earth.”
The astronauts gave a briefing from aboard the spacecraft, with crew members telling reporters, “We saw some extraordinary things.” The mission represents a landmark achievement in humanity’s return to deep space and has captured public imagination worldwide, offering a rare unifying moment during a period of global anxiety.
