Breathing!! Amazing, perfect splashdown.

Thrilled to share this piece of mine from The Conversation. theconversation.com/artemis-ii-m...

A "live" logo above a headline reading NASA's Artemis II crew returns to Earth. Above an artist's rendering of the Orion spacecraft entering Earth's atmosphere.

At top, a map showing where the Orion capsule will hit Earth's atmosphere to the southeast of Hawai'i and where it will splashdown off the coast of San Diego. At bottom, a graphic showing the altitudes at which the capsule's parachutes will deploy.

A graphic of the Artemis II reentry timeline. The process takes 13 minutes for the capsule to travel from 400,000 feet above Earth down to the ocean. Also marked are a communications blackout spanning from about 30 seconds to 6 minutes into the process and the parachute deploy from 10 to 12.5 minutes.

🌎 NASA's Artemis II crew comes home tonight. Watch live with us here: www.scientificamerican.com/video/watch-...

Timeline shows the progression of the Orion capsule’s 400,000-foot descent from when it enters Earth’s atmosphere at 7:53 P.M. to its scheduled splashdown at 8:07 P.M.

It's happening—we're about 2 hours away from the Artemis II mission splashdown! Here's a timeline of what to expect.

Chimpanzee Consumption of Boozy Fruit May Illuminate Roots of Humanity’s Love of Alcohol Wild chimps ingest the equivalent of multiple alcoholic beverages a day

Chimpanzees get a surprising amount of alcohol from the fruit they eat. This discovery might bolster the "drunken monkey hypothesis" for humanity's love of liquor 🧪🍸
