00:00.000 --> 00:08.700
A moment of absolute elation, thunderous applause when
the Orion capsule splashed down in the Pacific Ocean

00:09.100 --> 00:13.280
about 80 kilometers away from here, right
off the coast of San Diego in California

00:13.800 --> 00:18.740
Hundreds of families at the Air and Space
Museum here in San Diego witnessing history

00:19.240 --> 00:25.360
welcoming back the four astronauts who went farther than
any other human before in the history of space exploration

00:25.360 --> 00:31.500
Back when the moon landing, the Apollos,
I mean, I saw all of that and this again

00:31.640 --> 00:38.380
And I mean, the crowd here is magnificent. Most of these
people here have probably never even seen the Apollos land

00:38.700 --> 00:45.140
So again, it's just a great piece of American history. You
know, even since I've been born, certainly since he's been born

00:45.240 --> 00:49.240
we haven't been back to the moon and just getting
to witness history like that is just so amazing

00:49.640 --> 00:56.680
So cool that there is a woman in space right now.
And it's just proof really that girls can go anywhere

00:56.680 --> 01:00.520
And so I wanted her to be here as part of
it. She might not remember it, but I will

01:00.520 --> 01:08.360
This may not have been the return of the man on the moon just yet, but this story
of Artemis II has certainly inspired a whole new generation of space watchers

01:08.360 --> 01:14.900
All eyes now in Artemis III, next year in
Artemis IV, with a planned lunar landing in 2028
