NASA's Artemis II crew is set to splash down off the coast of San Diego today after their 10-day mission around the Moon.
Why it matters: The astronauts and their record-setting spaceflight have captured our attention and hearts over the past week, and a local Navy team plays a key role in their recovery.
The crew and Orion spacecraft will parachute down into the Pacific Ocean about 50 miles off the coast around 5pm.
