Artemis II splashdown live updates: Crew module successfully separates, ready for high-stakes descent back to Earth after historic mission 
After ten days in space and a historic revolution around the moon, Artemis II will make a splashdown 50-80 miles off the coast of San Diego at about 8:07 p.m. 
ET. 
The astronauts mission produced stunning views of the dark side of the moon, and the naming of two new areas on the moon — one after the capsule Integrity, and the other named in memory of Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife. 
The Artemis II crew sent heartwarming messages to their families on their final day of their historic 10-day moon mission ahead of Friday’s splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. 
The four astronauts, who launched from the Kennedy Space Center on April 1, expressed how much they loved their children, nieces and nephews, and addressed the next generation of space explorers during Thursday’s call with Katie Britt (R-Alabama), NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, and other lawmakers. 
Artemis II’s journey back to Earth will likely trigger a “sonic boom” so strong that it could end up rattling windows in parts of Southern California
