NASA’s #Orion #spaceship made a close pass by the moon and used a gravity assist to whip itself back toward Earth on Monday, marking the start of the return journey for the Artemis I mission. The uncrewed capsule will aim for a Pacific splashdown on December 11 off San Diego, California, setting the stage for astronauts on the next moonshot.
