[Kwisatz00]

If Buzz could take a swing at people for calling moon stuff fake, I want to see those same people do it to these Astronauts now, they are younger and stronger

 

[Kari Kamiya]

what do you think the astronauts are doin' in there just chillin'?

Getting used to gravity again.

 

[heloderma_suspectum]

what do you think the astronauts are doin' in there just chillin'?

Thinking of the best place to get a burger and fries once they get back on land.

what do you think the astronauts are doin' in there just chillin'?

stealing everything not nailed down for souvenirs

what do you think the astronauts are doin' in there just chillin'?

"We landed near California? Can we figure a way to go back into space and try to get near Texas?"

Just counting the minutes until they can shit in a real, working toilet again

That was fucking amazing, sorry about the audio, on my macbook

I was under the impression that the exact location of splashdown was impossible to determine ahead of time and they would have to conduct a search. I was surprised to see that apparently there's something with a camera already nearby.

Not nearby at all, just very very powerful telescopes on the SAR aircraft, they were able to see its descent the whole way down.

Fast boats coming in

[Jay2U]

Now the capsule is being swarmed with Somali pirates. It's happening again!

I remember when one, if not the first Dragon landing had all those MAGA boats out. That was funny.

Nasa livestream crowd has less enthusiasm than we had here in text. They really really really need to work on their PR.

 

[MerelyAPlateOfSpaghetti]

These niggas made the longest journey done by man, came home at Mach 42, and hit splashdown. GG

I'm not sure the total mission distance but it has to be over 500,000 total miles, insane journey.

 

[mindlessobserver]

Artemis III getting rolled up immediately! Wooo!

Nasa livestream crowd has less enthusiasm then even we had here in text. They really really really need to work on their PR.

Everyone was worried about the capsule exploding due to heat shield issues so when it didn't it was underwhelming when it perfectly plopped in the pacific

 

[themanwhowalks]

Those shots of the fast boats and seahawks flying over the capsule are so awesome

Just a common HUMANITY W. When Humanity puts its mind to it, we can do literally anything. We could and we will conquer the stars, we are just too good when we try. Universe gave us the debuff of being sometimes retarted, otherwise this shit is on ez mode
