BALTIMORE COUNTY — The Artemis II crew is scheduled to splashdown off the coast of San Diego tonight, and a Baltimore County high school is hosting a party to celebrate the return.
Dulaney High School is hosting a splashdown party to not only celebrate the return of Artemis II, but also the homecoming of Reid Wiseman — a 1993 graduate.
The party will run from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Dulaney Auditorium.
Event organizers say all are welcome.
Artemis II launched from Kennedy Space Center on April 1. During the mission, the astronauts traveled farther from Earth than any humans before them, capturing new views of the moon during their flyby and a striking Earthrise.
The last time NASA sent astronauts to the moon was Apollo 17 in 1972.
