NASA capsule Orion splashes down after record-setting lunar voyage

13 Sept 14:38 Key points summarised by AI

NASA's uncrewed Orion capsule successfully completed its 25-day Artemis 1 mission, splashing down safely in the Pacific after a record-setting journey around the Moon.
The capsule traveled over a million miles and went farther from Earth than any previous habitable spacecraft, successfully testing its heat shield during a high-speed atmospheric reentry.
This mission marks a critical success for NASA's Artemis program, laying the groundwork for returning humans to the Moon by 2025 and eventually preparing for future crewed missions to Mars.
Data collected from the recovered spacecraft will be crucial for planning future missions, including Artemis 2 (crewed lunar flyby in 2024) and Artemis 3 (first Moon landing at the south pole in 2025).

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
