Good evening from New York. I'm Ali Velshi. Visual contact has now been made with the space

module integrity. As you can see, we are still waiting. We're moments away from communication

being reestablished with the four astronauts who are on the historic Artemis II mission that

has just returned from deep space. At this very moment,

astronauts are in a capsule. It has now been seen. It is hurled through the atmosphere.

Passing through 150,000 feet. Our trajectory is perfect. They are saying the trajectory of the reentry

of this is perfect. We've got NASA mission control that you will be going between me and Mission Control as we establish voice communication with that shuttle. Unusually, most nights I have my control room in one ear. Post-blackout. Post-blackout communication check has just been made.

We have you loud and clear. There we go. Integrity has mission control loud and clear.

Integrity now moments away, less than six minutes away from splashing down in the Pacific

Ocean after traveling roughly 700,000 miles to the moon and beyond the moon around it and

back, traveling farther from Earth than any human has ever been.

The re-entry speed of this capsule you're about to see topped out at nearly 25,000 miles per hour.

At that speed, you'd get from New York to Los Angeles in six minutes.

The horizon capsule has hit entry interface.

That's the point where the craft encounters significant atmospheric drag.

That happened about five minutes ago just south of Hawaii, about 2,000 miles from the landing zone,

which is approaching right now, which is off the coast of San Diego. The reentry communications

have just been reestablished with NASA Mission Control, which is what you're hearing in the background

here. They've reestablished that the crew is now in contact, which means the crew has made it

through the re-entry into the atmosphere. This is a massive deal because the temperature that the

crew would have been facing outside of their capsule was 4 to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

This was also the most dangerous part of the mission because it's the part that had some question
