    The Artemis II mission crew is scheduled to return to Earth on Friday with a landing in the Pacific Ocean after an exciting and much-anticipated launch on April 1. On its 10-day journey around the Moon, the Orion capsule has traveled the farthest of any space flight.

    Clouds obscured the launch from areas like Kissimmee and west, but in St. Cloud, and especially those who went to the coast, clear skies provided an unbelievable view of history.
