Same! Glad everyone made it safe.

Yes it was worrisome, but how could it not be even with the best tech we'll ever have - I feel relief still on every plane touchdown.
Bravo, Artemis team for an exceptional return to extra-orbital space travel.

The LOS was also more than 6 minutes as predicted (I measured a bit over 7 minutes). What a tension.

I wasn't clear, was the LOS just comms or a full loss of telemetry from the craft? Either way, terrifying.

#9I noticed a delay between video and audio - the announcer on the NASA official live broadcast said splashdown before the the capsule splashed down on video. Was it intentional (in case something happened)?
Also, what were these puffs on thermal camera after the main chutes were deployed?
