NASA held a news conference on Sunday after the Artemis I Mission's Orion capsule splashed down in the Pacific Ocean earlier in the afternoon.

NASA successfully visited the moon for the first time in 50 years, as the Orion spacecraft flew around the far side of the lunar surface in late November.

The capsule and its three test dummies entered lunar orbit more than a week after launching on the $4 billion demo that’s meant to pave the way for astronauts.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson spoke about the splashdown as the "beginning of the new beginning," which he said meant they would "explore the heavens."

NASA considers this a dress rehearsal for the next moon flyby in 2024, with astronauts. A lunar landing by astronauts could follow as soon as 2025. Astronauts last visited the moon 50 years ago during Apollo 17.

Nelson said the eventual goal is to return to the moon to live, work and create, before going further to include humans going to Mars in the late 2030s.
