The NASA spacecraft carrying four astronauts landed safely off the California coast, concluding a successful test mission. This marked the first crewed flyby of the Moon by the US space agency in over five decades.

The NASA spacecraft carrying four astronauts splashed down as planned Friday off the California coast, capping the US space agency's successful crewed test mission around the Moon, the first such flyby in more than 50 years. Mission commander Reid Wiseman reported that the crew members, himself along with Christina Koch, Victor Glover and Jeremy Hansen, were "stable" and "green". Senior Lecturer at Center for Hypersonics, Dr. Christ James, shares some more insights on the mission and landing.
