The four-person crew of the Artemis II mission is holding their first news conference since returning to Earth. Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen will discuss their historic flight around the moon and back.

"We came in fast, and we came in hot," Artemis II mission commander Reid Wiseman told reporters in the crew's first press conference since returning to Earth.

Although it has been nearly a week since the four Artemis II astronauts completed their NASA mission around the moon, the crew said they have not yet fully processed the journey.

The Artemis II crew have safely returned home after re-entering Earth's atmosphere at 25,000mph (40,000km/h), splashing down off the coast of California. They have travelled deeper into space than any humans before them - just over 4,000 miles more than the record of 248,655 set by Apollo 13 in 1970.

Nearly a week after their Pacific splashdown, the astronauts who crewed the Artemis II mission that flew around the moon told reporters Thursday they have yet to fully grasp the magnitude of the moment.

The Artemis II astronauts were still readjusting to life back on Earth when they spoke with the media Thursday from NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

The Artemis II crew broke a record by flying 252,756 miles from Earth, the furthest humans have ever traveled. Astronauts completed a seven-hour lunar flyby, seeing a side of the moon never before seen by humans.
