Artemis II astronauts splash down after record lunar voyage

13 Sept 07:53 Key points summarised by AI

Artemis II astronauts successfully concluded humanity's first lunar voyage in over half a century with a dramatic splashdown in the Pacific.
The crew achieved a record-breaking lunar flyby, observing previously unseen parts of the moon's far side and a total solar eclipse, while also setting a new distance record for human spaceflight.
The Orion capsule, 'Integrity,' endured a blistering Mach 33 reentry and critical communication blackout, with its heat shield performing flawlessly to protect the crew.
This mission served as a vital test flight for NASA's Artemis program, paving the way for future lunar missions, including establishing a sustainable moon base and crewed landings by 2028.

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.
