## Caption

Artemis II NASA astronaut Christina Koch reunited with her dog, Sadie, after a historic 10-day space mission. The 47-year-old was part of a four-member crew that traveled 406,771 km from Earth, further into space than any previous human flight.⁣
⁣
An Instagram video captured the moment Koch, in her flight suit, embraced her dog. This followed the splashdown of NASA's Orion capsule, Integrity, off Southern California at 5:07 p.m. Pacific Time, ending the first human lunar voyage in over 50 years.⁣
⁣
Covering 1,117,515 km including a lunar flyby, Artemis II was the first crewed test for missions targeting a 2028 moon landing.⁣
