Those four #Artemis astronauts went from weightlessness to a 3+G re-entry to splashdown and now they’ve been at 1G bobbing in the ocean for half an hour while they wait to get pulled out of their little tin can. I do not envy how their stomachs must be feeling right now. 😬

I hate when fantasy films I made a long time ago begin to come true in real life.

Maybe they are waiting for confirmation that they don't have to meet Trump.
